Welcome back to our course on Access 2013. I’d like to quickly talk about using Access 2013 with touch now. I mentioned it earlier on and I did point out that I won’t be doing things with touch all the time, but that I will do some things and particularly new things with touch from time to time. There are a couple of really good articles on the Microsoft website.

This is a blog on Office.com that you can see here and this one I think is particularly useful if you’re new to touch or if you are having difficulty of don’t know how to get started with using touch with Microsoft Office. Now I’m not going through all of this myself in detail because it would actually take a very long time to go through all of this. But if you’re interested in getting the best use you can out of your touch device, I think this article is a very good place to start. Now if you have no plans to use touch with Access 2013 and really just want to get on and start making some databases, I perfectly understand. You could just move on to the next section, but I think you might find this interesting even if you don’t use touch and it is only a few minutes in length and some of the things in it are quite useful things to know about.

First of all, in this particular blog there is an explanation for the first couple of pages of how Microsoft went about designing the touch interface and it tells you a lot about how they see people using the products within the Office suite. But then when you get some way down, you get the first short video explaining how to use touch and this really concerns all of the elements of the Office suite. So if you don’t only use Access, if you maybe use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well, I think you’ll find useful content in that video. It includes things like the selection of multiple objects and the dealing with the size and spacing in tables. Some of the things we’re likely to need to be able to do in Access.

Further down it talks about the use of what’s called touch mode with the Ribbon. Now we’re going to be using touch mode with the Ribbon later on. But put very simply one of the main issues with using a touch device with using a tablet or something like that is that the fingers on most people’s hands are a lot thicker than the tips of their mouse pointers. So what happens when you switch into touch mode is that the Ribbon, as we’ll see in a while, becomes much more spaced out to give you more room to work with your fingers. In many ways that’s one of the most common themes when working with touch is that everything is spaced out a bit more so that you can use it more easily with your fingers.
