Office 2013 RT
Surface 2 comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office 2013 RT: Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook, built especially for
tablets.
Office 2013 RT has almost the same features as Office 2013 on
Windows 7 or Windows 8. To learn about the differences, go to
Office.com/OfficeRT.
Start an Office app
 From the Start screen, tap an Office app tile (such as Word).
 At the desktop, tap an Office app on the taskbar.
Either way, Office apps run in the desktop.

SkyDrive and Office work together
When you sign in with a Microsoft account, your docs are saved on SkyDrive (by default) so that you can access
them from anywhere—your computer, phone, or the web. Saving Office docs on SkyDrive also makes it easy to
share and work with other people (If they don't have Office, they can use free Office Web Apps.) For more info,
see SkyDrive and Office work together on Windows.com.
