Microsoft Office 2013 is the latest version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for Microsoft Windows and the successor to Microsoft Office 2010. Office 2013 includes extended file format support, user interface updates, and support for touch screens. Office 2013 requires Windows 7 or later. Office 2013 is more "cloud-based" than previous versions and has greater support for touch screen devices.
New features include a new read mode in Microsoft Word, a presentation mode in Microsoft PowerPoint and improved touch and inking in all of the Office programs. Microsoft Word can also insert video and audio from online sources as well as the capability to broadcast documents on the Web. Word and PowerPoint also have bookmark-like features which sync the position of the document between different computers.
The primary difference between our half day and whole day courses is the inclusion of PowerPoint in the whole day course. Naturally the whole day course does facilitate exploring the new features in greater depth than the half day course.
