Office 2013_Rezwan Chowdhury
One of the new features on office 2013 is the user-friendly interface with tablets. For example, holding your finger on a misspelled word will bring about a list of corrections. It would be the equivalent clicking the right click on the mouse. Tablets are becoming very popular and making office 2013 user-friendly with tablets will help all those with tablets.

New Features in MS Office 2013 Do Not Include iOS
As an iOS products owner I was extremely disappointed when I found out that Microsoft had no plans of releasing an updated version of their office suite for mac owners.
Microsoft has confirmed that it plans to release an update to Office for Mac 2011 that will support the company’s cloud-based SkyDrive storage. Similar to Office 2013, Microsoft’s update will let Mac users access SkyDrive or Office 365 to save and retrieve documents. The update, which will be available at the launch of Office 2013, will also mean Office for Mac licenses can count towards an Office 365 Home Premium subscription.
Discussing the possibility of a future Office for Mac edition, Microsoft confirmed to us that there is no Office for Mac 2013 release planned. “We haven’t announced the next release of Office for Mac,” says a Microsoft spokesperson. Office 2013, available for Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs, will include support for a new streaming version of Office with a focus on cloud features. Microsoft last rolled out a Service Pack 2 update to its Office for Mac 2011 software in April — patching some previous Outlook issues. Office 2013 and the Office for Mac 2011 update are both expected to ship early next year.

Microsoft Office 2013

But I know for sure that Microsoft Office 2013 will be very convenient for myself and many users due to the fact that documents could be easily accessible from any device any where. It will just make everyone’s life easier… Nice!!

Changes in Microsoft Outlook 2013
I have been using Microsoft Outlook as my email application for about 5 years and it has worked great. Here are some new features in Microsoft Outlook 2013:
Look and feel
In its current incarnation, Outlook still looks like, well, Outlook, but you’ll notice that many of the options aren’t immediately visible. Much like there’s no fixed Start button in Windows 8, the flags in Outlook only appear if you hover next to a message with your mouse. Also new with this version: a weather bar stretching across the top of your calendar. You can manually change the location, but by default, Office shows only one set of weather forecasts at a time. Another, more miscellaneous change: if you’ve begun to respond to an email, but saved it as a draft, the word “Draft” will appear in red in your inbox, next to the message (yes, just like Gmail).
Peeks
With this version, the company is also introducing fly-over menus called Peeks, which show things like calendar appointments, to-do items and information about your contacts. To find these, look for the icons stacked on top of each other in the lower left corner of the screen. Mouse over the calendar icon, for instance, and you’ll see a live, pop-up window that allows you to glance at your agenda without having to toggle between tabs to check your schedule. If you’re wide open, you’ll see a message saying you have no appointments; if you are booked, it’ll tell you when.

My opinion on features of Office 2013
An exciting feature that I came across while reading about the new office 2013 edition is the ability of it to provide a “cloud” service along with its subsricption-fee based office 365. The service allows individuals and small establishments to have the capability to store documents in the cloud on Microsoft’s SkyDrive service and access them with ease.

MS Office 2013
As mentioned before I am someone who has worked in finance and has used excel for a few years now and actually still do. I have used excel 2000, 2003, 20007, 2010, 2011 (MAC) so now with the new 2013 coming out I find it interesting that there will be 5 different trial versions: Home, Small Business (intended for up to 10 users), ProPlus, Enterprise, and Servers.
we know everyone uses it for numbers but I do wonder what the real differences will be in these versions, maybe certain tool bars or less toolbars? cant wait to try it out though I hope there are not many changes. as I am hearing it will be like an app instead of a program but for windows 8. In addition it will be connected to ms apps like sky drive, dkype and other social programs so now when doing business we can interact with our collegues or partners! 2 thumbs up!

How I use Excel at my work
My major is accounting. I think that excel is practically made for accountants. Especailly, it is very useful for bond investment. Excel makes easy to find carrying value of bond, present value, payment, and interest. Excel has distinct charts and graphs comparing to calculators, so it help us compare and analyze each other easily.

- Design tab – We know that you spend a lot of time making your documents look polished and professional, so your message is presented in the best light possible. The Design tab brings all of the tools needed to create a great-looking document into one place, so you can easily create a unique, beautiful look for each document you create.
- Refreshed Text Styles – We also refreshed the default text styles for Word, adding a crisp/clean set of headings that look great and feel modern/fresh.
- Simple Markup – When groups of people are working on a document together, Track Changes is a commonly used tool to make sure that everyone can see “who changed what when” in the final product. The result of that can be a document that’s hard to read, as all of the tracked revisions make it hard to see what the current state of the document is. Simple markup hides the revisions behind a single red change bar, and lets you show/hide the details by clicking on it. In other words, instead of having to figure out the result of changes that are marked up like this:

Office 2013
I didn’t know Office 2013 is coming before reading the assignment. Our classmate did a good job by posting those articles. I don’t think I can do a better job than experts. So, I just post my opinion to 2 feathers that caught my attention. First, it is a great tool for tablet. It supports screen touch and it is easier to use. But I don’t know how it will affect computer users. The other feather is cloud storage by default. It’s convenient if you have multiple devices. Like yesterday, I did homework partially in computer lab, and I wanted to send to myself via E-mail, so I can make some changes when I get home. However, after I printed something and came back to the computer, I totally forgot about it. So I have to redo it again. It wouldn’t be a problem using Office 2013. But I also concern about the safety of the data. It makes me uncomfortable to think that I don’t have complete control over the documents I create. But again, it is hard to balance between convenience and information safety. (Huiru Zheng)
