HOW TO SET UP YOUR WINDOWS 8 PHONE TO REMOTE OFFICE

On Monday, Microsoft released a new
Windows Phone 8 app called Office Remote.
Office Remote turns your Windows Phone 8
into a presentation remote for a Windows 7
or Windows 8 PC, with Office 2013 and
Bluetooth.
Office Remote currently supports PowerPoint,
Excel, and Word. With this app you can
perform actions such as jumping through
slides, and using a remote laser pointer in
PowerPoint. In Word and Excel, you can
navigate through documents and zoom in
and out. If you want to set up your Windows
Phone as an Office remote for your PC, here's
how:
Step 1 : On your PC, download the Microsoft
Office Remote PC Setup software from
Microsoft's Web site and install it.
Step 2 : Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled
on your PC and Windows Phone 8, and that
they're paired with each other.
Step 3 : On your PC, launch the Office
document you want to access, then go to the
Office Remote tab. Click on Office Remote,
then select Turn On.
Step 4 : After you've installed Office Remote
on your Windows Phone 8, open the app,
then connect to your paired PC from the list.
Once connected, you'll see your open
document(s). Select one to interact with that
document.
Once you've selected your document, you'll
be able to navigate it with your Windows
Phone 8. The supported functions will vary
depending on the type of document you're
working in.
