Microsoft Word 2013

Create professional letters with Microsoft Word 2013

Microsoft Word is the world leader when it comes to creating and editing text documents on the computer. The program can be purchased as part of the Office Suite with programs such as PowerPoint or Excel as well as a functional single component. From simple text pages to forming letters and invitations, the program can be used to create any type of text documents that can be supplemented with images, videos, and many other elements.

Microsoft Word 2013 for even more versatile document editing

With the 2013 version, Microsoft extends the integration of media elements to all major online media. For example, this feature allows you to add online video to your text document, which the user can simply click while reading your text. The same applies to images or other media that have been stored on the Internet or in your cloud. With Word 2013, Microsoft is exploring the much-requested path of increased digitization and networking to simplify the composition of the document both online and offline.

Practical preview functions for your work process

For the professional processing of text documents, a direct look at changes that have been made is important. This is greatly simplified in Word 2013 by the addition of real-time preview. Especially when integrating photos that are resized or moved, you can have a look at the new layout immediately after making the change.

This feature has become even more important as it enables the collaborative editing of documents through the cloud. By presenting modified content in real-time, it assures that all people working on the document will see the same changes at their workplace. Another advantage here is that if you close and reopen a document after reading, the view automatically returns you to the same position in the text document.

More extras and new features in Word 2013

For tables, charts, and other embedded objects, Microsoft Word 2013 provides an intelligent object zoom. Even if you do not want to actively edit these contents, zooming is an important tool for reading or changing.

For the first time in the Microsoft Office product family, Word 2013 makes it possible to open PDF documents and align different objects and contents. While this program does not replace a full-fledged PDF editor, it does help streamline content customization in this particular document format. Of course, it is also possible to save doc files in PDF format.

If you do not want to start from scratch when creating different document types, the large selection of templates is ideal. You can simply tailor them to your ideas to quickly generate suitable documents for business letter or invitation. The customization of colors and designs, for example in the style of your corporate identity, is easily possible.

Microsoft Word - as an individual program vs. as part of the suite

Word 2013 is an absolute standard in text editing. If you want to only create and edit text documents in your office or private PC, the program is sufficient. With a price advantage, you can order Word as part of the Office suite, which offers a wide range of additional programs. The spreadsheet Excel is often widely used as well. Access, Powerpoint & Co., on the other hand, are a useful addition to the business environment and suggest the purchase of the complete suite in the office environment. These can also be ordered at a low price in our online shop.
