Like the other members of the Office 2013 suite, Word 2013 has been upgraded to take advantage of new aspects of the Windows 8 operating system, such as user accounts and direct integration with the cloud. Even if you are upgrading from a recent Word version, you will find that Word 2013 includes some surprises along with familiar tools.

Part I begins with things you need to know and want to know about Word 2013. Chapter 1 explains how to get started in Word in both Windows 8 and Windows 7, and introduces the Word 2013 interface. Chapter 2 offers a quick start example how to create and print a document, and from there covers basics such as opening and saving files, making selections, and using views. Chapter 3 advises you how to get the most out of Word by using styles and taking advantage of “power user” techniques that are in fact easily employed by anyone. Finally, Chapter 4 shows you how to tame or take advantage of Word's behaviors that you might consider annoying.
