With Word 2013 you can create more beautiful and engaging documents, and you can work with more media types-like online videos and pictures. You can even open PDFs. Do more with your docs: Pop in an online video, open a PDF and edit the content, align pictures and diagrams with minimal fuss. The new Read Mode is clean and distraction-free-and it works great on tablets. Teaming-up is better too, with direct connections to your online spaces and streamlined review features like Simple Markup and comments.

• Reopen a document and keep reading right where you left off. Word remembers where you were-even when you reopen an online document from a different computer
• Watch online videos right in Word, without having to leave the document, so you can stay focused on the content.
• In the new read mode, text reflows automatically in columns for easier on-screen reading. Fewer menus mean higher focus on your content, accompanied only by tools that add value to your reading.
• Show your style and professionalism with templates, plus save time.
• Browse Word templates in more than 40 categories.
• Place and reply comments right next to the text you're discussing, so everyone can readily see who replied to whom, and when
• Open a PDF in Word, and enjoy editing content, such as paragraphs, lists and tables, as if you created it in Word
• Handy alignment guides pop into place when you need them and disappear when you're done
• Live Layout lets you experiment. When you drag a photo, video, or shape to a position, text reflows instantly-right before your eyes. Release the mouse button, and your object and surrounding text stay right where you want them.
