5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD
UPGRADE TO OFFICE 2013
The new version of Microsoft Office – Office 2013 came across as a fitting
successor to Office 2010. It offered a slew
of improvements and features including
improved user interface, multiple account
sync support, and new file formats etc.
Nevertheless, many critics in the tech world
labeled Microsoft Office 2013 as just
another minor update
SYNC ACCOUNT SETTINGS & IMPROVED SKYDRIVE
SUPPORT
Microsoft Office 2013 has outdistanced its competitors in providing connectivity
with cloud storage. With Microsoft account, you can easily sync (upload and
download) your documents online to your SkyDrive account. Just like Windows 8,
MS Office settings (applications,
interface, and customization) can be
synced between with all configured
systems. You can get a total of 20GB
additional storage space on SkyDrive
too. Read More about improved skydrive
support Here.
PDF FILE EDITING
In the previous versions of Office, you could only save a Word based document
into a PDF, but then could not convert the PDF back to a Word document for
further editing. With Office 2013, this has changed. Read More.

INSTALL TWO OFFICE VERSIONS SIDE BY SIDE
This option is one of our favorites and is definitely a well thought out idea by
Microsoft. Usually, a new software takes time to get familiar with. A new
interface, a new design, new settings, new features, it is surely quite a stressful
process for many to get the hand of all the features and options. This is why the
MS Office dev team provide support for Office 2013 running in parallel to any
previous versions
IMPROVED SPELL CHECKER
Microsoft Office has always had a very solid spell checking system, and Microsoft
Office 2013 brings more enhancements to this very feature. With usual correction
of grammar and spelling mistakes, the spell checking feature now gives
proper dictionary definition for words. Although not directly linked with the Spell
Check tool, you can make Office 2013 pronounce selected words for you using the
‘Text To Speech’ feature.
TOUCH SCREEN SUPPORT
Office 2013 offers full support for touch-screen interface without any glitches.
The Read Mode - built especially for touch screen interface users, allows you to
skim through documents with swipe gesture. Gestures like slide, swipe, pinch, tap
and stretch are all supported to make not only navigation smoother, but editing
documents a bit easier as well.
Every time you enable the touch screen mode, it switches the ribbon
to hide mode for a better reading and editing experience, and icons are magnified
so that they can be easily tapped. Although still not perfect
