Microsoft Office Features

Google and Microsoft are competing with each other over the provision of more products and services than you’d care to count. With Google offering document editing, cloud storage and many other free applications, Microsoft has now introduced its own online free streaming suite of business applications, which goes by the name, "Office Website Apps". These useful applications provide users free versions of popular desktop applications like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc. What is most exciting is Microsoft’s SkyDrive system, which provides 25 Gigabytes of free storage online, for storing files on the software giant’s SkyDrive system.

But, it is not all good as some of the online designs do not have all the features that you see in the Microsoft Office 2013 products you operate in your PC. It is now obtainable to users located around North America, the United Kingdom etc. You can use it with the help of IE7 and later, Firefox 3.5 etc. It supports a huge range of mobile devices such as Blackberry, Nokia S60, iPhone, etc.

In order to get documents through your computer system into the Office Website Apps, you need to send them through the SkyDrive system. It can be done, but the problem is that the functionality should be available in the many Office applications.

The new Microsoft Office 2013 has introduced many refinements and user-interface enhancements for connected users. The layout design features are much better in this version. Now, it is possible to directly embed films or photos into Word documents. There are various additional features in Office 2013, including extended file format assist, UI updates, etc. Office 2013 works on IA-32 and x64 units, but it requires Windows mobile 6, Windows Server R2 or newer versions of either. There is a version of Office 2013 that works fine on Windows RT devices. It is interesting to note that Office 2013 is more “cloud-based’ than all the past versions. Since cloud computing and mobility figures a lot in the future of business, Microsoft is getting geared up for the future. This is why there is more focus on “cloud based” technology. The Redmond-based giant is pushing for integration between its desktop based applications, and your data stored on Microsoft servers.
