Well, Clippy is back, but not in the way you think. The new  feature is called <strong>Tell Me<\/strong>, which helps you figure out how to do things and actually does it for you. Clippy was annoying but Tell Me is now actually useful.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>ribbon interface<\/strong> has been tweaked. The functions most people use are now less hidden and  streamlined.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration  has also been completely overhauled to battle the extremely useful Google Docs. Offline use helps you maintain your workflow when you have a spotty connection.<\/p>\n<p>For an in-depth look \u00a0at what&#8217;s changed in Office \u00a02016 \u00a0for Windows, check out our <a title=\"What's new in Office 2016?\" href=\"http:\/\/features.en.softonic.com\/whats-new-in-office-2016-for-windows\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">breakdown here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Are these features enough to make the upgrade worth it?
