Welcome to your modern OfficeThe new Office is personalized, cloud-connected and simpler than ever. The new Office

works the way you do and helps you get more done at home, on the job and on the go.

Take Office with you and share and collaborate on documents with friends, family and

colleagues. Your Office applications, documents and personal settings go wherever you go.

Consumers can store Office documents on SkyDrive, and businesses can post documents to

SharePoint and access them anywhere, share them at will and even work together on them

in real time. Office works across devices and platforms, from smartphones and tablets to

desktops and from PCs to Macs, and even on popular browsers.1

The new Office is designed to work closely with Windows on PCs, tablets and phones. The

fast and fluid experience lets you do more in less time, with minimalist styling and an

intuitive touch and inking experience built into all the Office applications. Create a Word

document on your PC and edit it on your Windows Phone with great fidelity, move from a

keyboard to using touch seamlessly, or stream a full-featured version of Office to any

Windows 7- or Windows 8-based PC with an Internet connection — with your personal

settings intact.

The sleek and modern interface gives you

faster access to the tools you use every day

with the ability to customize your

experience in every Office application. New

tools help you make beautiful modern

documents, lead productive meetings and

transform data into insight in a matter of

clicks. The new Office user interface is also

easy on the eyes, with a clean, functional

appearance — less chrome and more touch

friendly, more get-it-done.

Making your documents look their best is now easier than ever. Office helps you create

quickly with a menu of enhanced, professional templates and a list of your recent

documents. Use new alignment guides to place pictures and other visual elements in perfect

alignment within the paragraph, or experiment with your layout and see text flow around

your images and other content with live layout functionality.

With Peeks, Office gives you the information you need at a glance without leaving your

current view. View your schedule, a specific appointment or details about the person you’re

emailing, all without opening additional windows or adding clicks to your workflow.

license. Combined with a free

Microsoft Account, Office 2013 offers

Word, Excel, PowerPoint and

OneNote.

Modern user interfaceThe new Office is more than just another pretty face. It’s designed to get out of the way and

help you get things done. It’s sleek, streamlined and easy on the eyes with crisp animations,

vivid colors and easy navigation with a mouse or touch. With a familiar, highly intuitive user

experience it’s easy to get up and running whether you’re an Office power user or you’ve

never used it before.

Experience Office at its best on Windows 8 devices

Office was made for Windows 8 on PCs and tablets, as well as Windows Phones. Try them

together for the ultimate productivity experience. The beautiful design is optimized for a

range of hardware: from compact, touch-enabled tablets and lightweight laptops to powerful

all-in-ones with big high-definition screens. It’s smooth and intuitive and gives you instant

access to your people, apps and documents, so you spend less time searching and more

time doing.

Fresh, fast and fluid user interface

Windows 8 and the new Office both have a bold, beautifully designed new style that’s sleek

and modern. From the clean look of the words on your screen to the way apps animate, the

experience is fresh and the way it works is intuitive. The streamlined, user-focused design

creates a productivity experience that is both functional and gorgeous.

Touch, pen, keyboard — your choice

Office is optimized for different experiences. When you’re on the go with your tablet or

mobile phone, the new Office touch experience makes it easy to communicate, consume

content and perform lightweight editing with the flick of your finger or the stroke of a pen.

When you are at your desk with a keyboard and mouse, you have the full range of fine-

tuned Office controls at your command for the most demanding content creation tasks.

Type naturally, error-free, with the Windows 8 touch keyboard

The touch keyboard in Windows 8 helps you speed up your typing and makes it more

accurate. If you mistype a word, Windows will suggest words as you type so you can get it

right with a single tap. Two keyboard modes — a full-size touch keyboard and a thumb

Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 4

Page 9: Office presentation

keyboard — help keep you productive anywhere. On touch-enabled PCs, the keyboard layout

automatically adjusts to the language you choose for Windows.

Leading touch experience with OneNote

Ready for a re-imagined touch experience when brainstorming and taking notes? The

OneNote Windows 8 app delivers with touch-and-hold radial menus that put useful

commands at your fingertips, one-tap search and sharing, and finger-friendly zooming and

panning through pictures.

Office on Phone, Tablet and PC

Use Windows 8 across devices and get a full-featured Office experience anywhere. Each

experience is tailored for the way you work, whether you are at your desk or on the go.

Edit across devices while preserving formatting

Create a document on your desktop; edit it on your browser, phone or tablet fearlessly.

When you use Office on a Windows 8-based PC or tablet or a Windows Phone, formatting and

styles remain intact no matter where you work on documents. All the hard work you put into

making your document look its best will pay off.

Office 365: The Office you love with the power of the cloudOffice 365 brings Office on the desktop together with cloud-based services so you can take

your ideas wherever life takes you. Your documents and settings — even your Office

applications themselves — roam with you. You can stream Office 365 to any Windows 7 or

Windows 8 Internet-connected computer. Pick up reading a Word document where you left

off. Work with others in real time. With the new cloud-powered Office, the world is at your

fingertips.

Office 365 for everyoneOffice 365 is now

available to home as well

as business and

organizational users.

Here are some of the

features that are

available to all Office 365

users.

Settings move with you

If you use Office a lot,

you probably have things

set up the way you like it

— your Ribbon, your styles and other default settings. Even if you sign in to Office 365 on a

different PC, everything will be ready for you to get to work right away.

Always have the latest innovations

Office is continually evolving. New and enhanced features and services are added all the

time, and thanks to the cloud, Microsoft has greatly increased the pace of innovation.

Because Office 365 is a subscription service, you always have the most up to date Office at

your fingertips. You get the latest ways to work as soon as they are available, automatically

downloaded and synched with Office on your desktop. With the subscription service, there’s

no need to buy a new edition or upgrade.

Stream Office to any Windows 7- or Windows 8-based PC with Office on Demand

Ever wanted to get something done on a PC that’s not your own? With an Office 365

subscription you can. You don’t even have to have Office installed on the PC. Stream a full-

featured Office application to any Internet-connected PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8

using Office on Demand. When you’re done, close the application and it will be removed

from the PC.

Connect to social networks easily

Bring your online social networks to Office, complete with pictures, contact information and

status updates. Rekindle old connections, ask questions, boost your business and more. It’s

Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 7

Office 365 is easy for anyone to manage.

Page 12: Office presentation

all possible with the latest version of Office, which includes built-in connectors that bring

LinkedIn and Facebook into more of your Office experience.

Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 8

Page 13: Office presentation

Office 365 Home Premium and SkyDrive: any file, anywhere, automaticallyYou want to access and share your documents and other files, but you don’t always have

your PC with you. No problem — when you are signed in, Office 365 Home Premium saves

your documents to SkyDrive by default. You can access them from any Internet-connected

device. Want to save them to your local drive? You can do that, too. (Office 365 editions for

business use SharePoint for document sharing, storage and collaboration. For more

information, see the section on Office 365 for businesses.)

With your documents stored on SkyDrive,

you have what you need wherever you go —

whether it’s a home to-do list or the latest

version of a sales presentation. Putting your

files on SkyDrive has other benefits, too. For

one thing, they aren’t stored on a PC hard

drive with a limited lifespan. If your

computer goes down, your files stay up.

And, if you’re collaborating with other

people, you only have to keep track of one

version instead of sending revisions back

and forth by email. Going mobile? Access

your SkyDrive files quickly and easily from

your smartphone. Use the SkyDrive apps for

Windows Phone and other compatible

mobile phones, or just sign in from your browser. Either way, you’ll get your docs to go.

Accelerate your creative process with collaboration built in. With Office 365 Home Premium

and SkyDrive, people can work together even when they’re not together. Work on a vacation

plan in OneNote with a family member. Post it on SkyDrive and invite others to review and

do basic editing in their browser with the free Office Web Apps. They don’t have to have

Office installed to get a great experience.

Office 365 for businesses: turbocharge your productivityOffice 365 for businesses gives your business the productivity tools it needs to succeed in a

fast-moving world. With up-to-date Office applications for Windows-based PCs, tablets and

mobile phones, you can keep things moving forward from anywhere. Powerful, easy-to-

manage online services including Exchange, SharePoint and Lync give any business

enterprise-grade capabilities. Plans are available to suit organizations of all sizes. Best of all,

you don’t have to deploy or manage servers on site, and Microsoft provides a 99.99 percent

financially backed uptime

guarantee for Office 365

services.

Keep people connected

Office 365 for businesses

helps you stay connected

with new tools such as

high-definition, multiparty

videoconferencing in Lync,

SharePoint Team Sites to

keep team communications

and documents in a single place, and newsfeeds to follow sites, documents and discussions

to get answers in real time.

With SharePoint, Office 365 delivers business-centric social networking designed to help

people stay connected and innovate together. You can follow people, teams, documents and

sites to stay on top of the latest happenings. Keep track of what your colleagues are up to

through their activity feed. SharePoint even recommends people and documents to follow

based on your interests and responsibilities. Ratings and reputation scores enable you to

recognize colleagues and develop expert communities.

Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 10

Easily create SharePoint Team Sites with built-in guidance.

Page 15: Office presentation

Enterprise social networking with SharePoint

Email, contacts, calendars everywhere

The more places you can access email, the faster your business can move. Office 365 gives

you the power of Exchange, the world’s most used email server, in a hosted service that is

easy enough for even solo professionals and small businesses but powerful enough for the

largest enterprise organizations. Exchange helps protect your email and data with powerful

anti-spam and anti-malware services that are always up to date, as well as policy-based

information protection.

Now you can take enterprise-grade email with you anywhere. The improved Outlook Web

App works on all major browsers and is optimized for touch navigation. And with Exchange

ActiveSync, users can get email, contacts, calendars and tasks on a wide variety of mobile

devices.

Work together across your business

Office 365 for businesses keeps everyone in your organization connected no matter where

they are. Find the expertise you need with a SharePoint search. Detailed contact cards and

presence, now integrated into all Office applications, help you connect and work with people

from anywhere within the Office experience. When you find who you’re looking for, join in

rich, interactive discussions and meetings with audio, video and instant messaging (IM)

capabilities of Lync. You can start the conversation spontaneously by hopping from IM to

voice to video, or send out online meeting invitations with a couple of clicks.

Share ideas and content

SharePoint helps you keep track of what your colleagues are doing by following people, sites

and documents. You can get instant feedback on the documents and projects you’re working

on delivered in real time to your activity feed. Sharing documents or presentations with the

Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 11

Page 16: Office presentation

people you work with should be simple, intuitive and always available. With SkyDrive Pro

you can share content with the people you work with without leaving your document library

and track who you’re sharing with at a glance. You can publish and share documents directly

to SharePoint from any Office application via the Office Backstage View. When you need to

work with colleagues, you can co-author documents in the browser using Office Web Apps.

Keep teams in sync

Prescriptive guidance is now built right into SharePoint. It guides you through setting

permissions, creating document libraries, and adding a custom theme to your site so you

can quickly set up a new team site. You can even provide external partners and vendors

access to SharePoint sites or documents with robust security while helping to meet the data

governance and protection policies set by your IT department. To help your team stay in

sync, all your team documents and emails can be accessible from Outlook and SharePoint

using a Site Mailbox.

Gain insights anywhere with Excel and SharePoint

Empower everyone in

your organization to gain

business insights. Mash

up big data from multiple

sources using PowerPivot.

Explore data, visualize it

and tell a compelling story

using PowerView. When

it’s decision time, share

business intelligence-

enriched reports and

dashboards with

SharePoint to give everyone access to the real numbers.

Deploy it your way

The cloud is the future of Office, but you can go there at your own pace. Not only can you

install Exchange, SharePoint or Lync in your own datacenter, the latest releases of Office

servers are built on the very same technology that powers Office 365. That means you can

keep some users on-premises while others consume services from the cloud. Move to the

cloud at your own pace. Test different configurations before deploying. Keep sensitive data

within your firewall. Whatever the reason, it’s your Office — deploy it how you want to. And,

you can even still get traditional, perpetual Office client licenses to install on desktops and

PCs in your organization.

Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 12

With PowerView you can see actionable data at a glance.

diagrams and solutions.
