Stylish word processing

Word 2013 provides all the tools for efficient word processing. With this popular software you can design letters, calendars, resumes, books and forms. Automatic format templates allow a quick start.

Word 2013 picks up the tile design of Windows 8. The program interface looks smoother, cleaner, and tidier than in Word 2010, with nine tabs at the top of the screen organizing the functions according to the most important work steps.

Basic text functions can be accessed via Start. The Insert, Draft, Link and Page Layout sections control the design, formatting and graphics in the document. The Verify tab includes a comprehensive spell checker, and the Send tab is used to send files by e-mail. View controls zoom, read mode and guides.

Work anywhere thanks to cloud service

Word 2013 is part of the Microsoft OneDrive cloud service. If desired, the program will save all documents in the free online storage.

With OneDrive, you can continue writing on the Windows tablet while on the road, where you left off in the office shortly before. Similar to Google Drive, you can share documents and work on a file with several users at the same time.

Word 2013 sets the bar very high for text editing. The practical format templates enable a lightning-fast start. Because Microsoft has not changed the main toolbars, the transition from Word 2010 to Word 2013 is straightforward. The operation on tablet computers alone is imprecise and requires some patience.
