Just like Windows 8, Office 2013 also works great on both touch-screen devices and traditional computers. A number of touch gestures have been included to improve the touch experience and quickly perform various tasks when working on a touch screen (see how to use Office on touch screen). Microsoft has even released two separate Metro-style apps Office apps: Lync client and OneNote client. Both these apps work alongside regular desktop versions.

Other than Lync and OneNote apps Microsoft hasn’t released any other apps designed exclusively for touch screen. But the Office team has done a range of improvements to make finger access better.

Did you know that there is a secret Touch Mode in Office 2013? Yes, there is a secret Touch Mode in Office 2013 that allows you easily access all options and features of Office on touch screen devices.
