“Excel prints in the following order: all the rows for the first set of columns that fit on a printed page, then all the rows for the next set of columns that fit, and so on (this is known as “down, then over”). When printing on multiple pages, Excel never prints part of an individual column or row.”

“New in Word 2013, you can edit .pdf files. Earlier versions of Word let you save a document as a .pdf, but you couldn’t edit a document in that format — you’d have to convert it to a .docx or .doc file first. Now, when you open a .pdf with Word 2013, you can read the file, edit it, and save it as a .pdf — no conversion needed. No more worries about tables or other elements getting messed up by switching formats.”
