Microsoft recently announced that with the next-generation evolution of Windows 11, its signature productivity tool Office has also undergone major evolution from the inside out – through the new 64-bit ARM support, it will improve the efficiency of large files (the current test qualification is for Windows 11 only, you can Office Insiders Launch).

The new version of Office will automatically change the interface according to the system’s dark and light theme settings, thereby avoiding the sudden flash of documents when the dark theme system interface is in the dark theme system interface; it also provides the function of adding commonly used shortcuts to the toolbar; and can also quickly start collaboration through the sharing function.

Maybe after this, Microsoft will also put more effort into the latest combination of Windows 11 and Office, and promote software and hardware with different architectural advantages?
