New Features in Microsoft Word 2013 - Coming this Summer 2014

New in Word 2013

Now you can grab any content you want from a PDF and open it in Word 2013.
Convert a PDF file in Word 2013 by clicking File > Open and selecting a PDF file. Word opens the content in a new file.

How PDF Reflow works
Opening a PDF in Word allows you to copy the content you want—including images and diagrams.
When you copy content directly from a PDF file and paste it into Word, the pasted text doesn’t have any formatting. PDF Reflow reconstructs the original layout elements in a Word document where it’s easy to copy, paste, and change content.

Which documents work best with PDF Reflow?
PDF Reflow works best with documents that are mostly text, such as legal, business, and scientific documents. That’s because it’s optimized to interpret a document’s text layout (including lists, tables, and columns).
If a PDF contains mostly images and diagrams, such as a presentation or a brochure, it might not reflow into Word as expected.

Insert Online Pictures and Video

Add and play online videos inside your Word documents. Add your pictures from online photo services without having to save them first to your computer. Click Insert > Online Video to add a video to a document.

Track changes

Touch Guide

When you want to see who’s changing what in your document, turn on Track Changes.

Tip If you prefer to see all your Track Changes options on one place, see Change options for Track Changes. For even more control, see Advanced Track Changes Options.
Click Review > Track Changes.

Now Word’s in Simple Markup view. Word marks up any changes that anyone makes to the document and shows you where the changes are by displaying a line near the margin.

Word shows a little balloon where someone’s made a comment.

To see the changes and comments, click the line or the balloon. That switches Word into All Markup view.

If you’d rather see all the comments, but not all the changes, click Show Comments.

Keep Track Changes on

Now you can prevent someone else from turning Track Changes off by locking them on with a password. (Be sure you remember the password so you can turn them off when you’re ready to accept or reject the changes.)

1. Click Review.
2. Click the arrow by Track Changes and click Lock Tracking.

3. Type a password, and then type it again in the Reenter to confirm box.
4. Click OK.

While tracked changes are locked, you can’t turn off change tracking, and you can’t accept or reject the changes.
To stop locking, click the arrow by Track Changes and click Lock Tracking again. Word prompts you to type your password. After you type your password and click OK, Track Changes is still on, but you can accept and reject changes.

Turn off Track Changes

To turn off Track Changes, click the Track Changes button. Word stops marking up new changes—but all of the changes that were already tracked stay marked up in the document until you remove them.

Remove tracked changes

Important The only way to get tracked changes out of a document is to accept or reject them. Choosing No Markup in the Display for Review box helps you see what the final document will look like—but it only hides tracked changes temporarily. The changes are not deleted, and they’ll show up again the next time anyone opens the document. To delete the tracked changes permanently, accept or reject them.
Click Review > Next > Accept or Reject.

Word accepts the change or removes it and then moves to the next change.
To delete comments from a document, click each comment and then click Delete, or click Delete All Comments in Document.
Tip Before you share the final version of your document, it’s a good idea to run Document Inspector. This tool checks for tracked changes and comments, hidden text, personal names in properties, and other information you might not want to share widely. To run Document Inspector, click File > Info > Check for Issues > Inspect Document.
