hey there this is adam lane for pacquiao calm and we are going to take a quick look at office 2013 preview running on the windows 8 consumer preview with a touch-sensitive tablet so let's check it out ok we're going to start with what I think is the best new office 2013 app OneNote MX and here we see the interface and you can pan like this to see all your notebooks and all your sections and pages and right now I have the test page open which has a few things that I used to see what kind of support for different one note features is available here so we do have attachments those work fine we have a table checkboxes list everything there works this actually does work that's pretty easy let's get back to the test page I blink all this stuff works we got ink even movies audio files clippings equations they have is a little different here but basically everything is supported when it sinks to one no MX now here's the new cool new interface this little button over here so if i tap that we get all our little options we can choose to insert a picture from the camera you can pay stuff you can do table bullets but you'll notice a lot of things are missing like recording the video or screen clippings here's a really cool thing if I just swipe up like that it's going to paste it so you don't have to just touch it to see all your options you can remember where the locations of the commands are and just swipe there's pace there's pace so here's an a table and we'll see the buttons change a little bit when we're in different areas so there you have and if I swipe like that you see we really easily get some more rows down there in the table there's your picture and we see a different button for the picture and there's your picture options not very many so that's one note MX we can also tap and hold pages and rearrange them like so we can put them in a different section maybe that one there you go so there's a lot of functionality here there is a lot better than the one up version on iOS Android and Windows Phone however it does not have all of the functionality of OneNote so when you need all the high-end features of OneNote you have to launch the desktop version so this is it and it's a can be used with your finger there's a full screen button up here it's kind of small but it'll make a larger area and those three little dots of the middle bring up your normal toolbar it has all of the features that you need web clippings video recording audio recording and do all the normal stuff d you expect for the money high-end one note version next up we have outlook and we still have the full screen button up here you can get all our buttons appearing right away there's your view you can double tap those to shrink them but fullscreen brings up everything in one screen with that little dots up there and instead of being in the middle like one note they are over there in the corner and all this touch sensitive stuff works pretty nicely it's a little laggy in the email list but it's pretty smooth in the email preview until you do the pinch to zoom let's see if you can see that it says tech with zoom with a percentage instead of just doing it right away which is kind of weird so that's outlook it works okay next we have access is right here not a whole lot has changed functionality wise and we're also missing the full screen button up there so you really have to use this with all the tools showing however you course you can collapse them like so and it pretty smooth touch scrolling their next is word and again we have very smooth zooming there you see it rear enders the text and this one does have a big full screen option so here we are in reading mode and it has a really nice to pain layout where we can flip through and read your document Excel again we got zooming works really nicely and we have the full screen button so in some ways it can look like a metro app but it really is a desktop app and we have our task bar hidden and it's totally full screen and I can go like this to get back to Windows 8 apps however you can't use that to switch between desktop apps you have to use the task bar down there which is pretty annoying here's publisher not a whole lot has changed we have a slightly different design and we have full screen file menu just like all the other apps and we do not have the full screen menu button up there so there's a lot of inconsistencies and here's power point where we do have a full screen button does not have the little dots it has a little note that says click here for more commands so that's office 2013 preview on windows 8 consumer preview will expect some things to change before a full release but you can see so far there's a lot of inconsistencies and since the apps don't run as Metro apps it's kind of annoying that you can't really switch between them using the normal windows 8 interface the exception is one note MX which works really nicely in the Metro tablet mode and I expect that to be a quite a great program hopefully you can buy separately from office 2013 I'm sure you can so that's a quick look at office 2013 preview on windows 8 consumer preview I'll be sure to give us a thumbs up and thanks for watching you
