Microsoft has just released a new update for its Office productivity suite on iOS, bringing several new features exclusive to Apple’s iPhone and available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
For example, all three apps allow you to use fingers to write, draw, and highlight with the tools in the new Draw tab, but it’s worth mentioning that this particular feature is only offered to those running Office on their iPhones, and not on the iPad.
The Draw tab comes with quite a lot of options for those who want to use their fingers to draw on the screen, and they can change colors or thickness, just like on the desktop.
Additionally, all three have received support for Citrix to store and access documents in the cloud, according to the official release notes, which you can also find in full in the box at the end of the article.
PowerPoint has also gotten an exclusive feature, with this version allowing users to turn to the find icon on the ribbon to search for text in a presentation file. This new tool works on both iPhone and iPads, so it’s available to everyone on iOS.
As is the case with any other app, the update is shipped through the App Store if you’re already running the Office suite on your iOS device, and you can use the links here to download Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
