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.
