When you first login, you will be able to see any content you have saved to your online Microsoft space. If you are familiar with saving your Microsoft Office files to an online storage space such as Onedrive directly through your Microsoft Office apps, then you still can. You may need to connect this feature in each app the first time you use it - to do this go to File then Account. In Account look for the option called 'Add a Service'. You need to select 'Onedrive for Business' to connect your Onedrive account which is provided with this subscription. You should be prompted to sign in - use the same login details you used to login to the My Account screen. Your Onedrive for Business will now be added to your app and you will be able to use it as an additional location for saving your work. You can use this as a backup location to save additional copies of your files for safe-keeping.

Are you learning Welsh or through the medium of Welsh?

You may be interested to know that Microsoft Office also offers a free language accessory pack which adds additional display, help and proofing tools to Office. The Welsh accessory pack currently only offers partial localisation – this means that some parts of Microsoft Office will still display in your original downloaded/installed language. Click here to go to the Language accessory pack downloads page and see below for more information including instructions on how to configure your language pack once you have downloaded it.

Other languages are also available for students studying other language courses at Coleg Cambria. Please follow the same link and select your chosen language accessory pack to install alongside your Microsoft Office 365 software at home.

Select Welsh from the drop-down list then download the appropriate version for your computer. Most of you will likely need to use the 64-bit download link, but please check this using the instructions listed above in the Microsoft Office 365 installation details.
