High Tech Rat

Microsoft Office 2013 is a suite of
productivity applications designed to help
you improve the way you work.
What's new in Office 2013?
Microsoft Office 2013 is by no means a
revolutionary update to the venerable office
suite but this is the first version of Microsoft
Office that has good cloud integration and a
touch-friendly interface.
SkyDrive will be the backbone of Microsoft
Office 2013. Settings , documents , templates ,
and even custom user dictionaries will all be
synced to the cloud so that you have a
consistent Office experience on whatever
device, wherever you are.
There are also new social features shown in
Microsoft Office 2013 including automatic
picture importing from services like
Facebook and Flickr. Easier sharing also
brings along easier collaboration. Users can
now hold a multi-person video conference
while editing a single document.
What you get inside Office 2013
PowerPoint 2013
Microsoft kept the ribbon interface (love it or
hate it) in PowerPoint 2013 , but it is now
hidden by default on the Window RT version
of Microsoft Office 2013. You can bring up
the ribbon with a tap of a button. The ribbon
can also be hidden on the desktop version
with a simple double click.
PowerPoint will also feature full stylus
support to make giving presentations easier.
Users can annotate their slides instantly.
There's also a great new feature where the
presenter can have notes on his or her
screen but only have the main slide open on
the audience's screen.
Outlook 2013
Outlook 2013 is receiving a Metro-styled
interface as well, but with lots of new
functionality too. First of all, Aero Peek, a
feature that was first introduced in Windows
7, makes its way into Outlook. With Aero
Peek, users can now quickly hover over their
Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks and have a fully
manipulable pop up display.
One of the more impressive features that was
built into Outlook 2013 is its ability to
intelligently suggest events and
appointments . Outlook will detect when
someone wants to create an appointment by
looking for locations, time, and specific
keywords. This makes adding events to your
calendar much easier.
Last but not least, Microsoft also announced
powerful developer tools to create plugins
for Outlook. They demoed a fully interactive
Bing map within a body of an email, without
having to jump into a browser.
Word 2013
Word 2013 didn't receive as much of an
overhaul, but Microsoft worked hard on
polishing it up. Settings, defaults, templates
and user dictionaries will all be synced
between each version of Word so you'll have
one unified user experience with Word on
every one of your devices. There's a new
reading mode that formats your documents
to be touch friendly like pages of a book.
Videos from YouTube can now be embedded
directly within documents.
OneNote 2013
OneNote has always been an excellent note
taking app and this latest version is no
different. Users can import pictures , video ,
and annotate all of these things within the
application. Microsoft demoed its new "radial
menu " for touch friendly editing. Hold down
and a circular menu will pop up. Drag your
finger to whatever option you want and let
go. This interface is intuitive and powerful,
letting users change fonts, colors, and
formatting within seconds. Unfortunately, this
touch menu has only been featured in the
OneNote MX preview application.
Excel 2013
Microsoft finally acknowledged how
complicated Excel is for the average user.
Excel 2013 is still going to be a powerful tool
for data analysis, but Microsoft has made an
effort to simplify processes across the
application. Users now have access to menus
that preform "quick analysis" for their data,
simply by selecting an option from a menu.
Excel looks at the data and offers the best
solution for presenting or organizing it.
Installation issues
Installation of Microsoft Office 2013 can be a
bit of a pain on Windows 7. The Office 2013
preview downloads as an image file, which
will need to be burned to a disc or you'll
need a drive virtualization tool like Daemon
Tools to create and mount the image.
Windows 8 users will not have to worry about
this as the operating system includes a disc
virtualization tool.
Compatibility concerns
Microsoft Office 2013 creates a nice
ecosystem for those already using their
office suite but it may not be enough to woo
users from other services or applications
that are free . Microsoft also announced that
Microsoft Office 2013 will only be compatible
with Windows 7 and Windows 8. XP and Vista
users will be left out in the cold.
Conclusion
While Microsoft Office 2013 received some
nice updates, there was nothing
revolutionary that was announced. Microsoft
played the catch-up game with Microsoft
Office 2013, giving its office suite many
features its competitors like Google Drive and
Apple Mail have had for a while.
Overall, Microsoft Office 2013 offers some
huge improvements over its previous
versions with great cloud and touch features
but this may not be enough for it to say as
the king of office suites.
