In addition, there are many other functions for integrating images and graphics, concentrated reading, online collaboration and use on touch devices:

Real-time layout in Word 2013

Inserting and placing images and graphics in a Word document will be even easier and clearer in the 2013 version with the various layout functions:

• Layout options are displayed in the form of an icon as soon as an image or the like is inserted into a document and can be opened with a click. There are now various setting options available to precisely adjust the display of the image and the text flow.
• For this purpose, the live layout offers a real-time preview, which immediately displays the result of the selected settings, which can then be immediately undone if desired.

• Documents are displayed on the screen in easier to read columns. Depending on the selected page width and zoom factor, the text is displayed in one or two columns. You can also scroll through the text using the icons Arrow Left or Arrow Right.
• Word also displays several documents in tabs as tabs.
• The headings are displayed on the left side of the page as a navigation aid. There you can jump directly to the desired page by clicking on the corresponding heading. This sidebar can also display the page preview. To do this, simply click on "Pages".
• Almost all editing tools can be hidden to distract the reader as little as possible. However, some practical tools, such as "Define" (Define), "Translate" (Translate) or "Search with Bing" (Search with Web) can still be displayed via the context menu; also "Comment" for inserting comments and "Highlight" for highlighting the text.
• Using the integrated search function, readers can search for specific terms; all results are displayed in the left sidebar under "Results". By clicking on a search result, Word leads the reader directly to the relevant page.
• Using object zoom (by double-clicking with the mouse or double tapping with the finger), the tables, diagrams and images contained in a Word Doc can be enlarged to fill the screen. By double-clicking or double-tapping outside the respective element, the zoom view is reduced again.
• When the read mode is used again, Word displays exactly the position in a document where this user was last. This also works for documents that were opened online on another computer.
• To switch back to the edit mode, simply click on the command "View / Edit Document".

Online functions in Word 2013

Word 2013 also supports collaborative work on documents in the cloud. These can be shared via SharePoint or OneDrive and can also be edited jointly by several users simultaneously. When synchronizing changes to a jointly edited document, the changes that were saved first are applied directly. In the case of subsequent changes by another user, the corresponding text passage is highlighted and the versions are then merged by saving them again. In the event of a conflict, Word points this out in and supports users in resolving the problem manually. The online functions also include the integration of social media. The following functions and features are available in word 2013:

• Backstage view: This now has a new command "Account" in the "File" tab. Users can log in here with their Microsoft account and, for example, change their account data, but also set the background and design of Word and integrate the services they use. The backstage view can thus be used to organize tasks for specific files.
• The integration of Microsoft SkyDrive offers further options when opening, saving and sharing documents: In the backstage view, you can choose between local management of a document and saving or opening it on Microsoft SkyDrive.
• To release the document stored there for other users, a link can be sent or made available in the social networks used in each case.
• When sending a link to a document, the recipients can view it in their web browser as long as it is presented online on the author's computer.
• Inserting online graphics from the web has become even clearer and easier in Word 2013. Users can choose whether they want to download photos and clip art from Office.com, search for images online using the Microsoft search engine Bing or access image files via various social media services or SkyDrive.
• This also applies to videos from the web: These can be inserted into a document via Bing or YouTube, for example, and played directly from there.

The single user license of Word 2013 offered by Wiresoft is identical to the version included in the Office Suite 2013. Anyone who wants to use Word exclusively without the other Office, such as self-employed persons or smaller companies, can thus benefit from all the advantages of the Word version 2013 - and save money.

In addition to Word 2013, you will also find many other Microsoft software single licenses in the Wiresoft software shop, which you can buy there at a special price. These original Microsoft products were often part of a larger volume license as used by companies. With the resale to us their unlimited rights of use were released again.
