While Patrick was home visiting us this week, he installed Microsoft Office 2013 on my DELL computer. I’ve been using Microsoft Office since the beginning. But now, this new version features “The Cloud.” My usual approach–since I’m a text-based Old School guy–involves going through a software manual to learn about the new features in upgraded software. My College is converting from WINDOWS 7 and OFFICE 2010 to WINDOWS 8 and OFFICE 2013 this FALL Semester. So I’ll be spending the Summer learning these two programs. Friends had recommended Katherine Murray’s Microsoft Office Professional 2013 Plain & Simple. I found it easy to use and detailed in sections I was most interested in. If you’re going to use Microsoft Office 2013, I recommend this useful manual. GRADE: B+
