About Office 365 for Windows: Straight Talk

Office 365 for Windows: Straight Talk is the successor to our immensely popular Office 2016: the real startup guide.  In late 2018, Microsoft changed the name of Office 2016 for Windows to Office 365 for Windows.  We’ve changed the book title to reflect that and any differences between Office 2016 and what’s now Office 365 for Windows.

Past Purchasers:  anyone who bought Office 2016: the real startup guide after 1 July 2018 (almost a year ago) has received a free upgrade to Office 365 for Windows: Straight Talk.  We’ve emailed all the affected customers and their accounts have already been updated for the new ebook download.
