Since Windows 8.0 and 8.1 up to and including Windows 10, Microsoft has been designing its operating system and software applications with touch in mind as many users work with touch enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and touch screens. In this movie, you will know how to enable touch mode in Office 2016 and navigate the expanded interface that is better suited to touch. You will also know how to return to mouse mode you no longer require touch mode.
