Opening and Logging into Office Apps (desktop)

Microsoft 365 includes several desktop apps if you have the correct licence, which means your company Microsoft account gives you access to apps like Outlook, Word, Excel, and Teams.

🔍 Step 1 — Open the App

1. Click the Start Menu (bottom-left corner of your screen).

2. Begin typing the name of the app — for example:

   • Outlook for email

   • Word for documents

   • Excel for spreadsheets

   • Teams for chat and meetings

3. When the app appears, click it to open.

🔑 Step 2 — Sign In with Your Company Account

When the app opens for the first time, you’ll be asked to sign in.

1. Enter your company email address (for example: firstname.lastname@companyname.com)

2. Click Next or Connect.

3. Enter your password when prompted.

4. If you’re asked for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), follow the instructions on your phone.

5. Once complete, the app will open and you’re signed in.
