What's new in Office 2013

The first thing you'll see when you open Microsoft Office is a clean, new look. But the features you know and use are still there—along with some new ones that are huge time savers. The new Office works in the cloud, even on PCs that don't have Office installed. So now you can always get to your important files, no matter where you are.

Save and share files in the cloud

The cloud is like file storage in the sky. You can get to it anytime you're online. Now it's easy to save your Office files to your organization's Office 365 site. From there you can access and share your Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other Office files. You can even work together with your colleagues on the same file at the same time.

Shared meetings

Join online meetings and share PowerPoint slides, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and OneNote notes. Meeting attendees can see the files, even if they don't have Office installed.

More choices for getting started

Instead of seeing a blank file, you can now choose between a recent file or a favorite template.

Improved Save As and Open

No more browsing and scrolling in dialog boxes. Your most-used folders are right there from the start. You can also pin a location so it's always available.

Easier file sharing

Now there's one place in your Office programs, File > Share, that puts together all your options for sharing your files with others.

And there's more! Start exploring and see what you can do to save time and improve your productivity in Office 2013.
