What's New in Office 2013?
Microsoft's
Windows 8, a redesigned version of OS in the series of most versatile operating
system in user friendliness, Windows, has been recently introduced. Windows 8
is a one-size-fits-all concept based OS for every device, be it a desktop PC,
touch tablet or phone. Microsoft Office 2013 is a part of this venture, yet to
be announced for its launch date and price.
Office 2013 is
not just a document utility and productivity suite like its earlier versions
but is integrated with many in-demand features to enhance the user experience.
Office has been introduced with features and in-built applications, which users
usually imagine to have in their office suite. Some of the features introduced
in Office 2013 are:
- PDF Edit:
Office 2013 is integrated with a PDF editor taking inspiration from the
habit of people to first convert their PDF to a Word file and then edit
it. Now users can open their PDFs directly in a Word file and edit it, the
need to separately convert the file has been by-passed in office 2013.
- Touch
Stimuli: Office 2013 is equipped with the capability to work equally
efficient on a touch device as it works on a desktop because touch is the
essence of devices nowadays. Though the concept of touch doesn't seem to
be feasible in business perspective, this will soon make sense with the
launch of Windows 8 based tablet, Surface. Even touch smart-phones will
deploy Office 2013 for document editing.
- Hand-writing
Recognition: Since Office 2013 is touch capable, is it accustomed with
handwriting recognition using stylus or finger touch. It easily speculates
the words written by a user on the screen and automatically converts them
into text.
- Cloud
Storage: Office 2013 is integrated with SkyDrive, to directly store all
the recently created and used files on Microsoft's Cloud. Files, by
default, are stored on SkyDrive service so that users don't have to carry
their document everywhere. All they have to do is login to their SkyDrive
account and access their recently used files. This has been made possible
with the introduction of cloud computing platforms.
- Flash
Fill: Pattern recognitions and pattern analysis is introduced in Office
2013, for its MS Excel suite. Excel sheet recognizes the patterns in the
data fields and automatically fills the other fields accordingly, once
flash fill is enabled.
- Social
networking: Yammer, a social networking panel recently acquired by
Microsoft, has been integrated in Office 2013. Also, it has a "people
card" tool, which provides detailed information about the contacts
including their Facebook and LinkedIn account updates.
Office 2013 has
also been updated with some useful utilities like templates for budgets,
calendars, form and reports. Other features integrated are Skype integration,
One-note app for taking notes and directly putting them onto cloud to access
anytime, anywhere, designed specially for tablet and smartphones. Windows
mobile development has also improved the applications available in the windows
market place making the surface tablet a viable option for many users out
there.
