Microsoft Office for Android - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and not only in one application

Some time ago, Microsoft introduced the New Office application for Android phone and tablets, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and some additional features that were previously available only as separate applications.

In this review, the fact that the new application, its capabilities and benefits compared to individual office applications from Microsoft for the Android platform.

Opportunities of the Office Mobile Application

Download Microsoft Office for Android you can download from Play Market. To use Mobile Microsoft Office, you will need a Microsoft account if it is already used in some applications on your Android, it is most likely to re-enter the data does not have to be automatically.

After starting the application, you will see the main screen, which displays the documents with which you have worked lately (provided that you used the Microsoft account), as well as notes (for some reason in the "Personal Messages" section), which are synchronized with Windows 10 on-screen notes and Outlook notes. Next, your capabilities include:

1. You can open the available documents from ONEDRIVE or from the phone storage by clicking the folder icon on the right above. If you want to display only certain types of documents in the list of the latter, click on the arrow next to the inscription "Home" at the top.

   

2. Clicking on the "Plus" icon, you can create a note (synchronized with Windows 10 notes), use the "Lens" item to scan documents using a smartphone camera (similar to a separate Office Lens application) or select "Documents" to create a Word document, Excel Tables or PowerPoint presentation.

It seems that everything basic noted. I think if you previously used individual Office applications on your Android, then such a merging of all tools in one application may be convenient - separate Word applications, Excel and PowerPoint can be deleted (or disable if they were built-in), and leave only one Office application .

Reviews in Play Market for the most part positive, since, probably, it is really one of the most convenient ways to work with Office documents on your phone or tablet. Perhaps it's all. Do you use Office mobile?
