Question 1

Was bedeutet OLX?

Accepted Answer

Many of our add-ins and plugins have OLX in their name. But what is OLX? This is not clear to everyone, which is why we would like to explain it briefly here. OLX is an abbreviation and stands for the English term pair 'Outlook and Exchange' respectively for the German term pair 'Outlook und Exchange.  OLX is also a word-picture trademark registered in the name of Gangl founder, Thomas Gangl, in the German trademark register.

Question 2

Funktionieren die Add-Ins auch auf dem Mac?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft also offers Office for Mac, Outlook for Mac or Exchange for Mac, for example, which are special software versions of the MS classics developed for Apple's macOS operating system. However, Gangl's add-ins, plug-ins and add-ons were developed specifically for the Windows platform, so they are designed for the Windows operating system and not for the macOS operating system.

Question 3

Was ist Microsoft 365?

Accepted Answer

Since April 2020, Microsoft has mostly used the term 'Microsoft 365' for this offering instead of 'Office 365', although the term 'Office 365' is still used to name some tariffs. When referring to the web applications of the Office software, such as the browser-based Word or Outlook version (OWA, Outlook Web Access/Outlook Web App, today: Outlook on the Web), one also speaks of 'Microsoft 365 Online'. To a certain extent, apps and web applications from Microsoft 365 can also be used free of charge.

Question 4

Was kosten die Add-Ins für Microsoft?

Accepted Answer

With a few exceptions, the add-ins developed by Gangl for Microsoft software such as Office Add-Ins, Outlook Add-Ins or Exchange Add-Ins are subject to a fee. The price is usually based on the number of licenses desired. However, there are also add-ins from Gangl to buy, for which one acquires an unlimited company license. Some add-ins are also provided as freeware for free use by Gangl; these freeware add-ins are labeled as such on the plugin overview page.

Question 5

Was ist Office 365?

Accepted Answer

In addition to an online service, 'Office 365' is in particular a software subscription that includes the well-known Office software products from Microsoft, for example MS Word, MS Excel, MS Outlook, MS PowerPoint, MS Teams and MS Exchange, whereby programs such as Word, Excel and Outlook can not only be downloaded to the computer as an app, but can also be used as a web application in the browser without installing the program on one's own computer.

Question 6

Was ist ein Web-Add-In?

Accepted Answer

A web add-in is a web-based add-in. Such a web-based add-in does not need to be installed locally on each machine on which it is to be used. Rather, a Web Add-In is cloud-based and must be deployed by the Microsoft 365 Exchange administrator or by the global administrator account of the respective company, association, agency or institution.  A web add-in can be used for web applications as well as desktop applications. For example, there are signature web add-ins, i.e. web add-ins for e-mail signatures in Outlook - Outlook on the Web (OWA, Web App) or Outlook for Windows. Modern web add-ins replace the classic COM add-ins (COM = Component Object Model). You have to decide whether you want to use a web add-in or a COM add-in. It is not possible to use both types of add-ins at the same time. Besides COM add-ins, there are other types of add-ins, such as the so-called automation add-ins, for example for MS Excel.
