Claude for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are now generally available, and Claude for Outlook is in public beta.
As Claude moves between your Microsoft apps, it carries the full context of your conversation.
20 Claude Code tips:
1. Esc+Esc: Rewind your session to any previous checkpoint; treat it as free undo so you can let the agent attempt risky changes.
2. CTRL+V: Paste a screenshot directly into Claude Code.
3. CTRL+G: Open your editor to compose long prompts instead of typing them in the terminal.
4. CTRL+R: Search your prompt history.
5. /rewind: Roll back changes to a checkpoint, then give more specific feedback and try again.
6. /rewind → "Summarize from here": Pick a checkpoint and compress only the messages after it, keeping the valuable earlier context intact.
7. /insights: Generate a usage report, then attach it to a Claude session and ask for lessons to improve your workflow.
8. /memory: Save personal preferences that should persist across all your projects.
9. /statusline: Permanently display how much context you're currently using.
10. cat error.log | claude "fix this": Pipe errors straight in instead of copy/pasting, giving the model way more context.
11. .claudeignore: Add this file to your project to list paths the agent shouldn't read or modify.
12. #: Start a message with # to save it as a persistent instruction in your CLAUDE .md file.
13. "ultrathink": Drop this word anywhere in a prompt to bump the model's effort to HIGH for complex reasoning tasks.
14. /diff: Open an interactive viewer for uncommitted changes and per-turn diffs.
15. /effort max: Use this when you want to maximize Claude's abilities (it's expensive!)
16. /loop: Schedule a recurring task locally.
17. /schedule: Like /loop, but the job runs in the cloud and not locally.
18. claude --worktree: Spin up a session in an isolated git worktree so you can run more Claude instances in parallel.
19. /sandbox: Run Claude in a sandbox with file and network isolation.
20. /voice: Activate voice input and hold the space bar to speak your prompts.
Claude in Excel is now available on Pro plans.
Claude now accepts multiple files via drag and drop, avoids overwriting your existing cells, and handles longer sessions with auto compaction.
