About every three years, Microsoft releases a newer version of its robust documenting software, Office. The latest version, Office 2013, sets out to be everything you need to keep your home, school, and business life organized and thriving.

What many may not know is that Office 2013 offers more than just software for your desktop (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, among others), but a whole slew of Office-online to help you stay on track no matter where you are or what you’re doing.

Office 365 is Microsoft’s new way of offering Office to businesses. You can buy one licence or five for a monthly fee/subscription, and in return you get access to the latest version of Office. Rather than paying a one-time fee for a static version of Office, 365 keeps you up-to-date whenever new upgrades are released.

Not on a PC or Mac? Office is available online at office.live.com. All you need is a computer, a tablet or a netbook with internet connection and your Microsoft account information. Your documents are saved automatically with every edit you make and can be accessed anywhere from your OneDrive storage.

Not near a computer at all? Office programs, like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, are available as individual apps that can be downloaded on iPhones, iPads and Android devices. Like Office online, these apps connect to your Microsoft account so you can find and edit any document.

You can also easily share your documents with others, and even edit those documents at the same time! Sure beats endless emails back and forth trying to keep all the attachments and edits organized.
