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 also works with smartphones, tablets, and 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 or what you’re using.

What is the difference between the
Office 2013 suites and Office 365 plans?
Microsoft
Office is still the name we use for our familiar productivity software.
Office
suites have traditionally included applications such as Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and Outlook. All Office 2013 suites include the latest versions of
the applications, for use on a single PC.
We
use the name ”Office 365” for products that include cloud services, such as
additional SkyDrive online storage, Skype minutes for home use, Lync web
conferencing or Exchange Online hosted email for businesses. Cloud services are
features that are enabled over the Internet.
Most
Office 365 plans also include the full-featured Office 2013 applications, which
users can install across multiple computers and devices. All Office 365
products, such as Office 365 Home Premium, are paid for on a subscription
basis, annually. Active subscribers will receive version upgrades as a benefit
of their subscription. Entitlements vary by product.
