The Microsoft Office app for iPad has a few advantages:
If you want to use the all-in-one Microsoft Office app on your iPad instead of the individual programs, there are a few things you should know.
From the Home screen, you may select Recommended files, which are files you’ve recently opened, or press the New icon (the plus symbol) in the lower center of the screen to select the sort of new document you want to create.
The alternatives are as follows:
On the Home screen, there is also an Actions icon. You’ll discover choices like Transfer Files, Image To Text, and Image To Table here. The last two choices enable you to scan an image or document and convert any text included inside that scan to electronic text.
The ability to work with PDF files is another highly helpful feature of Office software. Using the Actions option, you may sign or scan PDFs and convert documents to PDFs.
When you open or create a new document, spreadsheet, or presentation, you’ll see that you have many of the same options as if you were using the standalone versions of these programs.
When dealing with documents, you’ll see that your formatting menus are where you’d expect them to be. And the menu may be moved to the right or left to display more possibilities. A huge microphone icon floats on the right side of the paper as well. Instead of typing using the onscreen keyboard, tap it to dictate what you want to write.
Tip: If you have access to these programs, the Apple keyboard and mouse will operate with them. If not, you can do whatever you want with finger gestures and the onscreen keyboard.
You move through a workbook or sheet in spreadsheets the same way you would in Microsoft Excel. You may also use the onscreen or wireless keyboard to enter data. When you choose a column or row, context menus will appear.
You can also use the shortening, formatting, and formula tools that you would find in the individual Microsoft Excel app.
Using Presentation with the Office app for iOS is quite similar to using PowerPoint. You may design a presentation from scratch or from a template. You also have access to the same formatting tools as in the standalone PowerPoint client. You may add Notes and Comments, as well as automate your presentation.
There is one more menu you should become acquainted with. It’s the menu at the top of each app—Documents, Spreadsheets, and Presentation. This menu is largely the same across all three applications. Available are possibilities there for:
On a document, you’ll also see a Mobile View option. This allows you to see how your document will look on a mobile device. Tap the pen symbol to activate Ink annotations on a presentation.
