A feature that many of you have requested over the years is coming to Word for Mac: opening and editing PDFs! Open a PDF file, convert it to a Word document, and edit away! Once you’re done, save it as a Word doc, or convert it back to a PDF. EDIT PDFS IN WORD FOR MAC > Office for Windows: Sensitivity labeling (CLP) in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Keep your documents, worksheets, presentations, and emails compliant with your organization's information protection policies by applying sensitivity labels. You no longer need to manually apply encryption, or manually insert headers or footers into documents to state how sensitive they are, for example. Now, all you need to do is apply a Sensitivity label (like "General" or "Highly Confidential"), and the Microsoft Information Protection platform will do the rest (based on policies IT administrators create). SENSITIVITY LABELING NOW BUILT INTO OFFICE APPS FOR WINDOWS > Office for Mac – Insider Fast: Ink Replay in PowerPoint. You can apply the new Replay or Rewind animation to ink and get the drawing effect directly in your presentations!

This month, Microsoft President Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne released their book “Tools & Weapons: The Promise and the Peril of the Digital Age.” In it, they take on big tech issues like privacy, cybersecurity and AI and examine how the same technology that is used to serve humanity can also inflict harm.
