1 WHAT’S NEW? OFFICE 2013 for Windows Pamela Daniels Academic Technology
Thank you and welcome to this presentation about Office In this presentation, we will look at some of the new features that come in the Office 2013 suite of applications. I will also give you some helpful tips and tricks to using the applications; so, let's begin.... Pamela Daniels Academic Technology June 1, 2016

2 WHY 2013 INSTEAD OF 2016? One of the first questions you may ask is why are we getting Office 2013 instead of Office 2016, like everyone else in the law school? The simple answer is, Time Matters. Time Matters works best with Office 2013 instead of Office 2016.

3 ICONS Office 2010 Office 2013 One of the first things you may notice before even opening 2013, is that the icons have changed in appearance from Office One icon in particular, the Outlook icon, has not only changed color, but closely resembles the color of the Word icon. It may be confusing; however, just remember to look at the icon label, in this case, O for Outlook and W for Word.

4 HELPFUL TIP Click Start button Click All Programs Find Program to Pin
Right Click the icon Select Pin to Taskbar Or, an option that can help is to pin the icon to your taskbar. To do this…..

5 BOOKMARK/RESUME READING
A new feature in Office 2013 is the Bookmark. For this feature to work, you must have saved and closed a document in Word or presentation in PowerPoint. The next time you open the file, the program will tell you where you left off. Just click the message to go to the spot where you were previously.

6 SAVE AS OFFICE 2013 OFFICE 2010 Another new feature in Office 2013 is SAVE options. In 2010, the SAVE/SAVE AS features found in the Backstage area of any of the Office 2010 products. It is still the same in 2013; however, the look is different. As you can see here, Office 2013 quickly takes you to see the places available to use for saving your document. If you find this to be annoying, you can just press F12.

7 RIBBON CHANGES AND TIPS

8 MODERNIZED LOOK OFFICE 2013 OFFICE 2010
All of the Office programs have been given a more streamlined modern-looking interface. One such example can be seen in the Office 2013 ribbon (shown on top), and the Office 2010 (shown below). In Office 2013, all elements are flattened, the 3D effects have been stripped away, and icons have been simplified. The idea is to remove distractions and let you focus on your work. Another difference in the Ribbon of Office 2013 is that tab fonts are in all caps.

9 SHOW/HIDE RIBBON PIN 2010 In Office 2010, to minimize or hide the ribbon, there were two options; either right click on the ribbon and choose Minimize the Ribbon. Or, click the up arrow in the upper right hand corner of the screen to make Minimize the ribbon.

10 SHOW/HIDE RIBBON PIN 2013 Click the View tab
When ribbon appears, click the (up arrow) icon on the bottom right of the Ribbon Pane; or Click the (Ribbon Display Options) icon at the top right of the screen. Choose “show tabs and commands.” In Office 2013, to show/hide the ribbon (see steps in slide) If you choose to click the Ribbon Display Options icon, the Ribbon automatically pins itself in place. However, clicking the View tab does not automatically pin. You have to click the “PIN” icon.

11 OFFICE BACKGROUND AND OFFICE THEME

12 When you open Word or any of the other Microsoft office applications, the background and theme may not be ideal. You can change this one of two ways.

13 WORD 2013

14 STARTING WORD WORD 2010 WORD 2013
When you choose the Word icon to open Word, it automatically opens to a blank document. Whereas in Word 2013, when you choose the Word icon to open Word, you are given the option to open Recent documents or choose from a template (which includes a Blank document). Microsoft’s reasoning for this is that when users open Word or any other Office application, they usually begin to work on a document one that they have already started.

15 WORD ATTACHMENTS IN OUTLOOK

16 PROTECTED VIEW You may open a Word document attachment from Outlook and find that it opens in the view as seen here. This is the “Reading View” and does just that, allows you to “read” the document. You wouldn’t be able to make any edits. Not only that, you will see a “PROTECTED VIEW” message in a yellow bar across the top of the document. Since the document is opening from Outlook, Word sees it as an “UNSAFE” document from the Internet. If you know the document is safe, you can click the “ENABLE EDITING” box to open the document in the regular “PRINT LAYOUT VIEW” in Word. A new feature in Word 2013 is the Navigation Pane. The Navigation Pane allows you to reorganize or search through long documents with headings. (May want to add more here or talk more about it on another slide.) **Note that options to open a document outside of the “READ VIEW” can also be done by clicking on the second icon “PRINT LAYOUT” in the “DOCUMENT VIEW” tabs at the bottom of the document.

17 READ ONLY When you can click the “ENABLE EDITING” box to open the document in the regular “PRINT LAYOUT VIEW” in Word, the document will open in “READ ONLY” mode. This means that you can make edits to the document “if so desired” and save the document to the location of your choosing.

18 CHANGE THE WORD/OUTLOOK DEFAULT
READ AND PROTECTED VIEW PRINT AND PROTECTED VIEW If this is annoying (which it can be), you can change how documents default to open in Word when they are sent as an attachment in Outlook. However, changing the default does not change the “PROTECTED VIEW” option. Word will still warn you to make sure the document is safe, so you will still have to click the “ENABLE EDITING” button. To change the default to open in “PRINT AND PROTECTED VIEW” instead of ‘READ AND PROTECTED”…….

19 DO THIS Step One: Click File Step Two: Click Options
Step Three: Select General

20 DO THIS Step Four: Uncheck box Step Five: With box unchecked
Step Six: Click Okay

21 BUT REMEMBER…. Changing the default DOES NOT change the “PROTECTED VIEW” option. But remember - changing the default does not change the “PROTECTED VIEW” option. Word will still warn you to make sure the document is safe, so you will still have to click the “ENABLE EDITING” button.

22 NEW RIBBON FEATURE DESIGN TAB
A new feature in the Word Ribbon is the DESIGN tab. The design tab allows users to use themes, styles, and other formatting features.

Mail Calendar People Tasks At the bottom of the Outlook screen, you will notice the Navigation Pane. The Navigation Pane appears in all views by default. The Navigation Pane can be resized, minimized, or hidden. The contents displayed in the Navigation Pane vary with the view you are working in, such as Mail view or Calendar view.

33 PERSONAL CALENDAR VIEW
Hover over Calendar. Click the icon at the top right. Your calendar shows up on the right. To show your calendar on the right hand side of your screen, you just…. Note: This only works for your own personal calendar.

34 SHARED CALENDAR VIEW When you click calendar, you will see your calendar with any shared calendars.

35 OUTLOOK AND WEATHER A new feature in Outlook is Weather. You can change or add locations to your calendar by selecting the drop down arrow by the city and typing in the zip code. You can view more information about the weather by hovering over each icon or you can go online.

36 EXCEL 2013

37 FLASH FILL Flash Fill is on by default and automatically fills your data when it senses a pattern. If it’s not working, you can check if Flash Fill is turned on. Click File > Options Click Advanced Check Automatically Flash Fill box Click OK Restart Workbook Use Flash Fill, new in Excel 2013, to fill out data based on an example. Flash Fill typically starts working when it recognizes a pattern in your data, and works best when your data has some consistency. Flash Fill allows you to enter data that may usually take cumbersome workarounds to achieve. It’s on by default and automatically fills your data when it senses a pattern. But, if it is not working, you can check to see if it is turned on by going to:
