You can also move your cursor by touching the spot on the screen where you want to insert a paragraph into a Word document or edit a formula in an Excel spreadsheet. So with Office 2013, which came out Tuesday, you can access those ribbon buttons and menu options with your finger, as long as you have a touch-screen monitor.

It’s Microsoft’s way of addressing a challenge to PCs brought about by the popularity of the iPad and tablets running Google’s Android system. Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system, which came out last fall, enables touch-screen controls so desktop and laptop computers work more like tablets. What Office 2013 does, though, is embrace Microsoft’s touch-screen philosophy. Files are compatible, so you can send Office 2013 documents to someone who has only Office 2010 (as I’m doing with this review). There’s a row of buttons - the ribbon - with quick access to the tools you need most. Nonetheless, households with several computers will find subscriptions a good value, as one subscription is good for up to five Windows or Mac machines.Īt first glance, Office 2013 resembles Office 2010, whether you buy it as a subscription or out of a box. It’s pricey, at $100 a year, compared with the traditional way of paying a one-time fee that starts at $140 and is good for years. With an online subscription, you keep paying Microsoft to use the latest version of the software, rather than pay the company once for software that gets outdated over time. In fact, I’m using the new Office 2013 to write this review, and it feels as smooth as the customized version of Office 2010 I regularly use. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the subscription gets you the same software you’d get buying it at a retail store.
