PROS
- Sleek new design, seamless cloud integration
- Usability tweaks are generally sensible
CONS
- Higher prices for perpetual license; subscription model is pricey unless you have four or five PCs
- Improvements over Office 2010 aren't earth-shattering
AT A GLANCE
Office 2013 introduces design refinements and usability improvements for connected users, but the price of upgrading may put off Office 2010 users who can get similar cloud functionality with free third-party services.

Word 2013
The first thing you'll noticeable about Word 2013 is how clean the interface is. With the ugly Ribbon interface hidden away once you start typing, you can focus on the writing. A simple tap on one of the Ribbon headings brings it smoothly into view. Tap in the document area to start typing once more, and the menus slide away.
Ribbon Remains
It’s good to see that Microsoft hasn’t completely started again, though. The Ribbon menus remain, and they’re organised in the familiar way. Although the look is dramatically different overall, existing users will not feel completely out of their depth. The key difference is that buttons are a little larger than before and have been spaced out, making it far easier to hit the controls with the touch of a finger than on Office 2010.
Embedding Contents
The Insert option allows you to search for online videos using Bing from within Word. You can also embed video code into the documents and then play them within the app too.
Another useful feature includes the ability to quickly embed a screenshot. Clicking Insert>screenshot will bring up a window with thumbnails of every window app on your desktop. Simply click the image you want, and it will be placed on screen. Best of all you can easy move videos and images around to wherever you want.
