Office for Windows Phone 8

The famous Microsoft office suite in its mobile version has received its respective update with the arrival of Windows Phone 8, it offers a a good number of improvements compared to its previous version and takes better advantage of the increase in hardware in new mobiles with this operating system.

All are updated

Microsoft has thought about improving the user experience with each application integrated into the Office hub, and has achieved it by increasing capabilities of PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

This first offers greater ease of creating graphics and including effects between slides, also adds the moderator view with their respective notes at the bottom of each slide as well as the thumbnail view of these.

The famous word processor Word improves with the inclusion of its full screen mode, thanks to the fact that its controls are hidden or displayed with just a touch on your screen.

On the other hand Excel has been the luckiest of the three, since the performance of switching between sheets and zoom has been improved, and now we can make a selection of several cells at once forchange its size in both rows and columns more quickly It is also increased by a reading panel through which we can view the content of each cell, very useful when we have a lot of information in such a small space.

OneNote Mobile, the best for notes

Microsoft was in charge of independently promoting the famous application to take notes called OneNote Mobile, so that with a single gesture we can start to capture our ideas in formats ranging from text to voice.

We include the creation of notebooks, which will have marks that characterize them and the option to add sections to keep your information organized.

Voice notes advance towards the possibility of starting capturing them without having to unlock the mobile, as well as the ease of creation of lists with just the use of a button in the interface of the application.

And once again everything goes to the cloud

Once again, commitment is made to the cloud with this version of Office, offering full compatibility with their respective SkyDrive and Office 365 services, all the content created from the mobile, PC or tablet is synchronized, as well as some readings that we have in Word, start where the last opening left off.

OneNote Mobile will take the most advantage of the cloud, as it integrates directly with the new OS feature called Rooms, in which, once a group is made, allows us to share our notes through cloud storage.

And lastly it is good to mention the ability to send documents using NFC technology, to which we still have doubts if this function will be Only compatible with phones with Windows Phone 8, or if in the future Office will reach other platforms, can we also send documents to other devices via NFC?.
