Microsoft Word 2013 for Windows

What's new in Word 2013?

Do more with your docs: Pop in an online video, open a PDF and edit the content, align pictures and diagrams with minimal fuss. The new Read Mode is clean and distraction-free—and it works great on tablets. Teaming-up is better too, with direct connections to your online spaces and streamlined review features like Simple Markup and comments.

Enjoy a screen-reading experience that’s easier on the eyes
New Read Mode. Text reflows automatically in columns for easier on-screen reading. Less menus mean higher focus on your content, accompanied only by tools that add value to your reading.
Object Zoom. In Read mode, you can easily zoom in on tables, charts, and images, and have them fill the screen. After you take in the details, another tap or click will minimizes them, so you can continue reading.
Resume Reading. Enjoy your reading, take a breather, and then pick up right where you left off—even on a different PC or tablet. Word automatically bookmarks the last place you were reading.*

Work together with even greater ease
Reply Comment. Keep track of the conversation. Place and reply comments right next to the text you’re discussing, so everyone can readily see who replied to whom, and when.
Simplified Sharing. Relax. You can be sure that you’re all tracking only the latest version, because your files are saved online on SkyDrive or SharePoint by default.* Send everyone a single link to the same file, along with their viewing and editing permissions, right from within Word.
Present Online. Enjoy greater flexibility. Project your document to everyone in your working group, even if they don’t have Word. Send them a link, and as you present the document on your screen, they can follow along in their browsers online.

Polish your docs like a pro
PDF Reflow. Here’s a time-saver you'll really love: Open a PDF in Word, and enjoy editing content, such as paragraphs, lists and tables, as if you created it in Word.
Alignment Guides. Achieve that polished, professional look—align charts, photos, videos, and diagrams with your text. Handy alignment guides pop into place when you need them and disappear when you’re done.
Live Layout. Experiment with layouts. When you drag a photo, video, or shape to a position, text reflows instantly—right before your eyes. Release the mouse button, and your object and surrounding text stay right where you want them.
