"MyOffice Education" is intended for primary and secondary educational institutions. It includes applications for working with text, tables and presentations in educational organizations.

2023: "MyOffice Education" 2.6: ability to work with special characters, support for electronic signature

MyOffice, a Russian office software company for document collaboration and communications, announced on August 29, 2023 the release of the updated product "MyOffice Education." Now educational institutions have access to the functions of editing and formatting documents, the ability to work with special characters, as well as support for electronic signing of documents, has become available.

Working with Tables

The largest number of changes affected the table editor "MyOffice Table." Now in "MyOffice Education" 2.6 teachers can to protect fragment documents from unwanted editing. Thanks to this function, it became possible to protect individual cells, the entire sheet or the entire structure of the book. If necessary, the content of the fragments can be protected, password which will avoid accidental editing, for example, cells with formulas, and eliminate the risks of violation of the logic of calculations or the structure of the document.

Changes have also occurred in the visual part of the table editor. Now, when copying cells to the clipboard, the copied piece of data will be highlighted by an additional focus - a dotted line around the perimeter of cells. This will allow the user to more accurately understand which data was copied to the clipboard before. The selection will disappear only when the user moves the cursor to any other cell and inserts previously copied values into it.

In MyOffice Education 2.6, it has become more convenient to work with filtered ranges. Now, the user can apply the filter, and then copy only the filtered data to the clipboard. The function allows you to comfortably and quickly work in the usual way with large tables, as well as filter data in them for subsequent processing.

Also, in the table editor, it has also become possible to set the exact dimensions of cells manually. Setting the size of cells allows you to generate standard documents by sheet size, as well as control document layouts before they are printed. The user can change the size of the cell within a wide range from 0.36 cm to 49.99 cm in increments of 0.01 cm.

In addition, the ability to rotate text inside the cell has been expanded. For the convenience of displaying large titles and long titles, the user can rotate the title by a certain angle for a more convenient reading of the table. This can be relevant in tables where you need to specify units or other data in addition to the header. This function is also available in tables that can be created in the MyOffice Text text editor.

In MyOffice Education Release 2.6, users no longer need to spend time searching for the worksheet sheet in which the work was completed. When you open the file later, the editor displays the page where you last saved it. The function saves time to find the desired sheet and, as a result, allows you to perform tasks more efficiently.

Working with documents

This release also adds the Favorites panel. Now, the instructor can add the most popular tools from the command menu or any button from the toolbar to a separate toolbar and form his set of frequently used tools. The function allows you to prepare accent settings for students by selecting and placing all the tools necessary for their education on the Favorites panel. In total, you can add up to 14 items to the Favorites panel.

Desktop editors also received an interface for inserting characters. Users can now insert formatting characters, such as unbroken spaces, hyphens, and short dashes, as well as various styles present in custom fonts. Thus, symbols of the Greek alphabet are in demand in mathematics and physics, as well as in the preparation of abstracts, research and various reports, and formatting signs - in the preparation of various materials in educational institutions.

In MyOffice Education, release 2.6, the hyperlink insertion logic was also changed. Now working with hyperlinks takes less time and clicks. You can add a link by selecting the entire word or phrase, or by placing the cursor on the desired word. Deleting links is also easier - you can do this from the context menu or from the Edit Link window.

In MyOffice Education, it became possible to edit and view endnotes in files that were created in other editors. Endnotes differ in that they appear at the end of a section or at the end of a document. The endnote refers to a chapter, section, or entire document. The usual footnote applies only to the page. Now, when opening a document with endnotes, the user will see them according to the settings.

Legal significance of electronic documents

Now in MyOffice Education, users can sign or view electronic documents signed with a built-in invisible or disconnected signature. You can also verify the user certificate. Thanks to this function, school administration employees no longer need to use additional programs to sign documents when exchanging information with various government agencies, for example, with the Federal Tax Service, EME and others.

MyOffice Education provides support for invisible built-in signature (XADES, for OOXML and ODF formats) and disconnected signature (CADES). It is convenient to use an invisible electronic signature in cases where you do not need to create signature lines, but you need to confirm the authorship, authenticity and invariability of the document. Such a signature is not displayed in the contents of the document, however, when it is opened, the editor program will notify the user of the presence of an electronic signature and display its status (valid or invalid) on the sidebar and indicate the author who signed the document.

If necessary, the electronic signature of the document can be detached and saved in a separate SIG file of the same name. To do this, when choosing the "Sign Document" command, select the item "Save signature in a separate file." To work with electronic signature of documents, you need to install the CryptoPro CSP crypto provider on user computers and have electronic signature certificates. For a qualified EP, it is required to obtain certificates from an accredited CA.
