5 features you didn't know about in Word for Android
Office for Android users are in luck. The latest update for the Word, Excel and Powerpoint apps includes features that bring the mobile and desktop versions even closer. In this way, Microsoft wants the best-known office suite in the world to offer the same advantages, regardless of the platform we use. Word is the app that benefits the most from this update These are the new functions that you can enjoy right now.
Word Mobile
Talking about office automation is talking about Office, and when we think of Office, we think of Word. We may not use a text editor on mobile as much as we do on desktop, but there are times when it becomes a must. For example, when taking professional notes or something as simple as making the shopping list. So when we need a text editor, we want to have the most familiar and intuitive features at hand The update to Word for Android addresses this demand.
First of all, Copy and Paste features include the ability to keep formatting We will no longer lose the font and color of the text original. Using Copy-paste with format, we will have in our Word document the text with the same font and color of origin.We only have to touch the fragment of text that we want, and we can copy it without further ado or copy it with formatting. When inserting the fragment where we need, we can keep the color, font and size of the original text.
In addition, the new update allows to modify the margins of our document This function becomes very useful if we want to create a document with a format specific, such as a card or greeting. Likewise, it will be possible to prevent all our work from being misplaced by having inserted a larger image of the account.
On the other hand, we can already find a text fragment in a PDF file and copy it into a text document that we have open.It is a very useful option when we consult official sources, manuals or academic papers online. All you have to do is follow the steps that we would take if we were in front of our desktop computer. We have to open the PDF file in Word, copy the sentence or paragraph that we need, and paste it into the document. Lastly, we can review how the document will look If we press the Mobile View button, we will obtain a text display optimized for mobile. Finally, the Print View button shows us how the document will be printed.
Excel Mobile
While Word has taken the best additions, Excel Mobile gets a new feature that will make things much easier. The update includes a numeric keypad for seamlessly inserting functions or numeric entries into spreadsheets.It's the only update Excel has gotten on Android, but its usefulness more than makes up for it.
PowerPoint Mobile
One of PowerPoint's most versatile and personal utilities finally arrives on our mobile phones: comments. From now on, we can add, delete, reply to, and edit comments on presentations that we have on our Android phone.
These new features may not be flashy, but they are very intuitive and everyday actions. Having them at hand on your mobile is always welcome news. With this move, Microsoft demonstrates its intention to integrate Office 365 across as many devices and platforms as possible.Users need mobility and portability, which is exactly what this update brings us, which is now available on Google Play.
