Monday, November 10, 2014:
Microsoft has released refreshed versions of its popular office
software apps for iPhone and iPad. The company is reportedly also
working on new versions for Android devices. However the update for
Android is not yet ready for release. Knowing the fact that the majority
of professionals use smartphones and tablets along with or in place of
PCs, Microsoft has made efforts to bring all the essentials apps to
handy devices.

Michael Atella, director of Microsoft Office apps said that the
user wants similar capabilities on all their devices. Microsoft was
working since last two years to develop web-based versions of its
software and apps, for making it easy for them to function on smaller
screens including that of mobile or tablets.
As of now, the list
of free updates includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint and also the
replacement of limited iPhone version which was released back in March.
The older version in comparison to the newer one only allowed the user
to view files and make simple editing changes whereas the newer version
is capable of performing more functions, almost all that is found in
desktop version of office software. The newer app doesn’t even require a
subscription to create files and documents unlike the iPad version.
Since
the apps are available for free, Microsoft has made the provision for
money via premium features like security tools for business users,
through its Office 365 subscription service. The MS office software is
used by businesses around the globe, but it faces a strong competition
from different programs made by Google, App and other rivals. |
