General look and feel
Many people was expecting that Microsoft will totally change the look and feel of Office 2013 mac but its only upgraded in order to support touch screen tablets. When you sign-in into your new product you will see your name and Microsoft account photo which tells you about the cloud services available for you as well.
Although cloud feature is already introduced by Microsoft is the previous version but this time when you save the file its by default will be saved in your online storage drive rather than on your hard-drive lets say on C Drive.

When you open the application you will notice that start page is completely redesigned unlike in previous versions where you have to access all the tools from menu bars now you can access them from main office 2012 screen. Left pane will show you the recent files you edit or created.
