Microsoft Office 14 ("Office 14" for short) is the working title for the next version of the Microsoft Office System productivity suite for Microsoft Windows. It entered development during 2006 while Microsoft was finishing work on Microsoft Office 12, which was released as the 2007 Microsoft Office System. The major version number 13 has been skipped presumably due to triskaidekaphobia. As of February 14, 2007, it is expected that Office 14 will ship in the first half of 2009 though this date has neither been confirmed nor denied by Microsoft.

Why did they skip Office 13? scared of the number 13?

Exactly that.

14 won't even appear on the Radar for at least 18 months, give them time. 2007 is still relatively new, and they're still making good money off it.

It will probably appear before that. I believe the current strategy is to RTM Office 14 around the same time they RTM Windows 7 so they can have a mega launch event for both products at the same time.

I think that nothing much is being said here on neowin, because the product isn't in beta yet.

For me Microsoft will have to do something amazing with Word and Powerpoint before I start caring.

Dude, not for another three years AT LEAST!

They should make an attempt to try and fix their current products first. Office 2008 for example

:laugh: Riiight. Actually I bet Office "14" will ship in about 12 to 18 months time.

Three years? LOL

Fix current office products? LOL

What's wrong with Office 2007?

It'll be interesting what they do for a UI in Office 14. Me personally I hate the Ribbon style. It's big and it's not easy to find what your looking for, especially for complex items, at first until you get a idea of where everything is. I personally like the compactness of menus and feel it's easier to find things in menus.

I know many people will disagree with this, but oh well..

Microsoft 13 was released in January for MAC, now Office 14 is rumored to be released in 2009 early 2010
Microsoft Tech Beta Support .... I work w/ some guys that deal w/ beta testers.. when they get information they tell me.

You might want to reconsider that source.

An update for Office 2008 just came out, v12.0.1.

Hence, Office 2008 is v12, exactly the same as Office 2007, only it's on the mac.

There is no Office 13 for both Windows and Mac as Microsoft skipped it for superstitious reasons. I'm not really in a hurry for a new Office as the current one is the best one there is. It will be pretty hard for Microsoft to top it but I'm confident with the Office team that they'll be able to do it.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
