Microsoft knows that more goes into making your user experience a great one than just developing great apps. They also need to provide support for those apps that goes above and beyond their customer’s expectations.

The Microsoft Apple Productivity Experience Group (APEX), formerly known as their Mac Business Unit, is responsible for making great Microsoft apps (primarily the Office suite and OneNote) for their Apple customers. They’re the second largest group of Mac developers in the world, aside from Apple themselves. The good folks in Microsoft’s APEX Group are huge Apple fans, just like us, so they’re jumping through all the hoops to make sure that your experience with Microsoft apps is as good as it can possibly be. Part of that experience includes providing top-notch support for the products they develop, which they do by contributing to Microsoft’s various support resources on the internet:

 Microsoft Support (https://support.microsoft.com): Find support for your favorite Microsoft apps, including training materials, contact numbers, cheat sheets and other helpful documentation, tips to make the most of what your app of choice offers, and more.

 Microsoft Office Templates (https://templates.office.com): Peruse Microsoft’s extensive collection of document templates for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Many are free to download, while others require a Microsoft 365 subscription.

 Microsoft Community Forums (https://answers.microsoft.com): The Community forums connect Microsoft users from all over the world so they can share experiences, guide one another through projects, or just discuss how cool they think the marriage of Apple and Microsoft products is.

Don’t be shy to avail yourself of Microsoft’s support system if you need a helping hand or a bit of good advice from time to time (or every day, for that matter).
