ok, I think I have figured your question out.

You are talking about the office 365 product that you buy off the shelf (or download), and not the email (etc) service that you sign up for and pay $15 a month or so, right? If not, then disregard the rest of this post. That is essentially a subscription that gives you whatever the current version of Office (presently Office 2103) is, on up to 5 computers, for as long as your subscription is current.

Shaw has exchange email now, so if you connect to it, you should have the same exchange functionality. See Shaw support for details, but I ma pretty sure that Office 2013 should autodiscover the proper settings.

That said, I suspect that your Shaw email could also be set up on your PC to be used through exchange rather than POP, but if it has been set up for a while, you would have to change the account settings, likely be setting up a new profile and adding it as an Exchange account rather than a POP/IMAP account.

If you call Shaw, they could clarify this for you.
