Keeping in line with the cloud computing path, the Insert tab now supplies the user with the options not only to insert pictures from the PC they are working on, but from Flickr, SkyDrive, or even a Bing search. The auto-save function keeps track of changes as you make them, syncing even the slightest alterations across all your devices at once. Microsoft has overhauled the Web Apps arm of Office 2013, giving you the power and flexibility to edit documents on the go. The 'Open' command has also been revised to include support for SkyDrive and SharePoint good news for those of us who are fully embracing the cloud. From here, you have the option to create a new document, load a template from your hard drive or the web, or select from a list of recent documents. The start screen, though, is indeed a welcome change from the old interface, and is colour-coded to match the application you are using.

Office 2013 is now officially here, and many consumers are wondering about upgrading to the latest version and the new set of features it is meant to provide. Office 2010 refined the features of the ribbon interface further, and brought some slick tweaks to make it even more fluid.
