One thing is right: Microsoft Office has changed🇧🇷 The application not only received a treatment to make its interface friendly with all versions of Windows, starting with version 8, but also brought new useful functionalities for users, according to the applications of each package.
Another fantastic feature of Office is that it has now gone to the cloud, that is, through a subscription, you will be able to install it on demand and automatically synchronize settings and documents online.
As we already mentioned in the first episode, this series of articles will be based on Microsoft Office 2013, which has multiple versions, as usual in the application, but this time, the editions are not differentiated by the fact that they are used at home or at work. office, or the apps that are included. More factors must be considered.
Buying Office 2013
Even if you decide to buy a Microsoft Office box, you should inform them that you won't find a DVD inside it, but a product activation key to use it after you download the programs.
Another possibility that our editors recommend is paying for an annual subscription, in order to obtain extra features, such as the Office 365 edition, which will allow you to download Office applications to several computers, as well as share them with your family. .
For home users, we recommend four options: Office Home & Student 2013, which contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, Office Home & Business 2013, which features Outlook, Office Professional 2013, which has the full suite, or so, if you prefer, you can buy the programs individually.
Also inform that there is a subscription version, Office 365 Home. In this version we have Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access and Publisher. Economically it is very good, since you will be able to share the package with the family, up to five people in the same house and they can make their own installations of Office, either on PC or Mac, no matter the moment, and when the next version is released, you can use it for the cost of the same subscription. In addition, everyone in the same package gets an extra 20GB of storage space on OneDrive, to save their documents, as well as 60 free minutes of monthly calls on Skype, to landline or cell phone, and of course, to the computer or smartphone, as long as it has Skype installed.
Another situation you can adopt is to download Office programs temporarily on another computer. So, if you have a document on a pendrive or saved on OneDrive and you need to edit it on another computer, and Office Online does not provide the features you need, you can use “Office on Demand” to get the full version. from Word, all in just a few minutes.
Please note that everything mentioned above can be managed from Office.com, where there is a link so that you can access your account in the Ribbon interface of all Office applications. In order for you to activate your 60 minutes of Skype, you have to sign in to the same Microsoft account you use in Office 365, which you can also do on Office.com.
In that same account, you will also have a list of recently edited documents, which can be very helpful when “Office on Demand” updates an edited file.
We would also like to inform you, in that case if you are a student or professor of Higher Education, you can get Office 365 University, which allows you to install it on two computers or Mac and tablets.
