Hello again and welcome back to our course on Word 2013. In this section, we’re going to look at what’s new in Word 2013. I’ve already mentioned that the use of touch devices is a feature throughout Office 2013 now and, of course, Word is no exception to that so one of the things that I’ll be coming back to from time to time is how to do things in Word 2013 using a touch device. But in this section I want to look specifically at some of the new features and functionality of Word 2013.

Now there’s a very useful page on the Microsoft.com website in the Office section called What’s new in Word 2013. And that list with a little bit of explanation in each case, the main functional changes in Word 2013. So let’s go through the main ones now and then we’ll come back to each of them in detail later on in the course.
Let’s start with New Read Mode. And this is a new mode that’s available in Word whereby virtually all of the, if you like, the clutter, the commands and so on, are removed from the screen and make it behave much more like a sort of a book reader. Now many of you can probably guess where the idea of this has come from and why Microsoft are promoting this approach to using Word. But as you’ll see later on it’s actually a really good feature because apart from the fact that you can just sit and read a document with it, you can also have certain tools still handy such as things like searching on the web, translating, and so on.

That’s a very useful new mode in Word.
Now if you’ve used Word before you’ll be very familiar with zooming in and out to either look at something more closely or to get a broader zoomed out view of a page or a couple of pages or whatever. Object Zoom is a new feature which gives you a very quick way of getting close up to something, so perhaps you want to look closely at a picture or the contents of a table where perhaps the text is quite small. Object Zoom let’s you zoom straight in close up to something and then when you finish looking at it close up, you can just tap outside the object and zoom back out to where you were before. So another useful new feature within Word 2013.

Now, of course, much of the emphasis with Word 2013 is on catering for online storage of documents, saving them in the Cloud, specifically on Microsoft SkyDrive. And one of the situations people are, in particularly, when they store documents in the Cloud if you’re working on a remote version of a document, it’s stored online, and you may well be using different devices in different locations at different times of the day yourself. So let’s suppose you have a PC at work. You may use a laptop when you’re visiting customers. You may use a different device when you’re at home.
