Little by little more and more people are using Office 2013 as their main office suite in different versions of Windows, something that has brought a great deal of satisfaction to all its users due to the specialized functions with which it is integrated this new version proposed by Microsoft.
All these specialized functions could involve a project of great relevance for its users, which means that certain options have to be activated for its full operation; but if we use Office 2013 only to write small reports or perform minimalist tasks on spreadsheets Why not optimize it so it doesn't consume a lot of Windows resources? That is what we will try to do right now, because if we use the office suite for basic, common and current tasks, perhaps in an indiscriminate way we are consuming a large amount of resources with this type of task.
