Welcome to your
modern Office
The 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.

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.

Modern user interface
The 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, aswell 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 8touch 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 keyboard—help keep you productive anywhere.
On touch-enabled PCs, the keyboard layout automatically adjusts to the language you choose for Windows.

Ready for a re-imagined touch experience when brainstorming and taking notes? The OneNote Windows
8 appdelivers 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 for everyone
Office 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 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 365 is easy for anyone to manage.
Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 7
Office 365 Home Premium
and SkyDrive: any file,
anywhere, automatically
You 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
productivity
Office 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-gradecapabilities. Plans are available to suit
organizations of all sizes. Best of all, you don’t have to deploy or manage servers onsite, and Microsoft
provides a99.99 percent financiallybacked 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.
Easily create SharePoint Team Sites with built-in guidance.
Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 9
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
realtime to your activity feed. Sharing documents or presentations with the 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
Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 10
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 vendorsaccess 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.
With PowerView you can see actionable data at a glance.

  • 5. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 1 Welcome to your modern Office The 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. 1 See Office.com/preview for supported devices.
  • 6. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 2 Get Office in the way that works for you The new Office is available in a number of editions to suit business, home and educational needs. • Office 365:Delivers the new Office as a subscription service, constantly updated and connected to Microsoft cloud services. It is available in business, consumer, education and government editions. • Office 2013: Office as traditional desktop software with a perpetual license. Combined with a free Microsoft Account, Office 2013 offers many conveniences of a cloud-connected Office such as online document storage and sharing. • Office on Windows RT: Devices running Windows RT will come with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. • Office servers: Exchange,SharePoint, Project and Lync are available hosted in the cloud as part of Office 365 for businesses, deployed on-premises, or a combination of both in a hybrid deployment.
  • 7. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 3 Modern user interface The 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, aswell 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 8touch 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 keyboard—help keep you productive anywhere. On touch-enabled PCs, the keyboard layout automatically adjusts to the language you choose for Windows.
  • 8. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 4 Leading touch experience with OneNote Ready for a re-imagined touch experience when brainstorming and taking notes? The OneNote Windows 8 appdelivers 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.

  • 10. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 6 Office 365 for everyone Office 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 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 365 is easy for anyone to manage.
  • 11. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 7 Office 365 Home Premium and SkyDrive: any file, anywhere, automatically You 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.
  • 12. Office Reviewers Guide PAGE | 8 Office 365 for businesses: turbocharge your productivity Office 365 for businesses gives your business the productivity tools it needs to succeed in a fast-moving world.
