Office Online

Access your favourite Office apps online - work from anywhere

As part of our Office 365 subscription, all staff and students can download the full Office suite (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook) on up to five devices. Alternatively, Office 365 gives easy access to the Office apps online:

from OneDrive, you can go to the 'New' menu and choose to start a Word, PowerPoint, Excel online document. The advantage of this approach is that your document will automatically be saved back to OneDrive so there is little chance of losing a document.
from student email: go to the App launcher in the top left corner and select the office app you want to use (Word, Excel etc)
staff can go to OneDrive or directly to the online apps from the Office portal (linked from the staff portal also)
