[dba-Tech] 365 question

[Susan Harkins]

Gustav, thanks for responding. I don't see the same thing when I sign into
the online/cloud version.  I'm running 2016, and the name in the top left is
Office 365. The individual apps are their simple names -- no Online included
anywhere. That's what the editor wants to use, but with the Web Apps out
there,  I don't want readers to infer that I'm including those. 

MS uses the terms "Office suite" and "Office online."

-software -- notice the lower case for suite and online, so these terms
aren't names, but we could go this route, but I don't care for them -- I
think suite is ambiguous and online is a bit too broad. 

Gustav, I never stopped writing about Office. I just don't write books about
children or software anymore -- I'd starve. :) At one time, books sold well
and authors made money, but not anymore. There are too many books (often
bad) and too many people willing to write them for promises and really bad
contracts.

Hi Susan

The name would be Excel OnLine. At least that is what it is labelled when
you select Excel from the top-left "squares" menu and the Excel page opens.

By the way, I thought you had devoted yourself to writing books for
children. Nice to see you are back in the game!

An editor and I are trying to clarify terms for Office 365 apps. I've been
using Office 2016 and 365 to distinguish between the installed and cloud
apps, but she thinks 365 is the wrong term because 365 is the subscription
name. I agree about the latter, but MS uses the term Office 365 when you
sign into the cloud apps, so I thought readers would understand the
distinction. We do want to be as correct as possible. 

How are you guys referencing these?
