Directions

By Richard Corzo

This year Microsoft released an updated version of its Office suite, Office 2013 or, as Microsoft is more apt to call it, Office 365. Office 365 To explain it all to us, we will have a speaker from the Microsoft Store at the Danbury Mall, accompanied by Carolyn Bighinatti, the Community Development Specialist at the store. She last visited us at our December 2012 meeting on Windows 8, filling in at the last minute for our originally scheduled speaker whose flight was delayed.

Come learn about the new Office and what Microsoft has added and improved. Our speaker will cover it all starting from the hardware and OS requirements you need to run the new Office. We’ll learn how Microsoft is really promoting the convenience of its Office 365 subscription plans, so you can install Office on up to five computers, rather than buying an individual copy which can be installed on only one computer.

We’ll also learn how the new Office is more cloud oriented so that you can store your documents in your Microsoft SkyDrive cloud storage area, accessible from multiple computers, and even edit your documents in a Web browser when you’re away from your computer.

This program will have lots of demos to show how it will make your work easer. Aside from the staples, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, we’ll find out more about the OneNote application, which is also available on mobile phones and syncs with OneNote across all your computers.
