One of the most popular software products from Microsoft over the years has been the MS Office set of applications. Be it MS Word, Power Point, Excel, Access, Outlook or any other application - they have become essential when it comes to managing day to day office work. Currently the latest edition of MS Office is MS Office 2016 which was released in 2015. Microsoft is now working on their next-gen set of Office software: MS Office 2019.
Reportedly, MS Office 2019 will release in the second half of 2018. The company announced this in an official statement where they said that a preview version of MS Office 2019 will be out by mid 2018 and the final set of apps will be out later next year.
Microsoft says that they are keeping in mind the needs of those users who aren’t ready to move to the cloud yet. Microsoft is also going to introduce newer formulas and charts, as well as new visual animation features such as Morph and Zoom.

Microsoft is working on improving it with improving features such as pressure sensitivity, tilt effects, and ink replay.
