Getting the Gist of What’s Inside Office 2013

A lot of people may not be easily sold out if you tell them to get Office 2013 Pro, but you can be assured that the new productivity platform has its own share of goods that you might find appealing. A lot of people are criticizing the new UI of Office or Windows 8. I personally love the sleeker design of these new Microsoft apps and find absolutely no problem with them at all.

First, the overall layout is a lot simpler and feels more compact. This is because almost the entire interface of Word 2013, for instance is all covered in white. For me, this makes the platform more formal just as it is functional. Office 2013 is also known for its square edges on the Ribbon tabs. You may dislike it and still love Office 2007 over this, but personally, I find it just as attractive as the Windows 8 Start screen.

Second, you might love the instant share-ability of Office 2013 with the way it interacts with SkyDrive. If you are working on a Word 2013 document, you may share it with someone on the Web just by easily giving that person a share link that connects with SkyDrive.

Third, Excel 2013 is simply intuitive. It has better analyzing capacities and if it detects a pattern in the manner that you input data, cells are more easily filled up for you. This helps you work much faster and your work of inputting data will be all the more efficient.  

Fourth, exporting and outputting to PDF has never been easier in Word. Who knows? What you need may simply be accomplished with Word 2013 and that effectively saves you the need to purchase Adobe Acrobat X. Hence, the versatility of the suite can serve you in multiple ways.

Depending on your needs you can get Office 2013 Pro or just the Home and Student version. Professional includes Publisher while Home and Business includes everything office student does plus Outlook. Some people complain that because of macros, learning may take some more time. It’s true, it can even be costly. But if you make the shift to Office 2013 – just know that you can speed up your learning curve by doing things slowly, instead of rushing it.

If you get this platform now, you may find its slick new interface and its convenient features something that will serve you in your home and your business.
