Review: The Best And Worst New Features Of Microsoft's New Office 2013 Software

Microsoft officially released its new Office suit on Tuesday and we’ve been playing with it for a few days now. For the most part, we like it!

This is a major redesign for Microsoft's popular Office suite, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, OneNote and Outlook. Microsoft added new features to all of them and made them work better with touch-friendly Windows 8.

Microsoft is trying something new this time. You have a couple of ways to buy the same software, Office 2013. You an pay $99 a year and download it onto five other PCs and/or Macs. That's called the Home Premium version, and that's the version we tested. Or you can pay more to get a "perpetual license" and put it on one PC, the same as you've always done.
