The Office app for iPad has been presented by himself Satya Nadella , the new CEO of Microsoft, during a conference in San Francisco yesterday, where the work of this company was shown to offer a legendary service already on computers through mobile platforms Something that seems to have been achieved by adapting the usual tools of programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint to the touch screens And it is that your user experience continues to be complete and satisfactory even without the use of a mouse, even improving in some aspects to be able to use gestures to scroll, choose editing tools or modify sizes and elements on the screen.
With the Office suite for iPad the user can use three applications different depending on the type of document you want to view, edit or create. Both the part of Word, as well as the part of Excel and PowerPoint are fully integrated with the tablet in the same work environment. Something that can be appreciated thanks to the worked design of this tool, which not only offers a renewed vision and adapted to the mobile platform, but also follows in the wake ofiOS 7 in terms of design and allows a experience of use really comfortable and simple, even more than on computers.
And the fact is that the user continues to have all his options and editing tools in the bar at the top, leaving the largest possible space for content on the rest of the screen.The tabs are large and well positioned to easily, comfortably and quickly toggle between insert, page layout, review, etc.Issues that regular users will recognize and know how to take advantage of from the Apple tablet.
Along with all these functions that allow a complete work in documents, there are other extra questions of the most interesting in this application. One of them is being able to work on documents jointly with other users Something that speeds up the pace of work and allows you to correct, advise or find out about the changes made in real time. In addition, the Office app for iPad has direct channels to the Microsoft cloud or its Internet storage services In this way the user can take his notes, texts, graphs, tables or presentations to any device just by entering his user data and downloading said document in the application to consult or make any adjustments.
