Microsoft is in the midst of pushing out a series of nifty updates for its Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications for Android-powered smartphones and tablets via the Play Store. The upgrades bundle a plethora of new productivity features, in addition to a whole host of additional sharing options. As you’d expect, the standard array of bug fixes and stability improvements are also included.
Word is receiving the most useful upgrade of the three applications. It’s gaining support for five different highlighter colors, new sharing options including WeChat and QQ, a more refined registration process for creating a Microsoft account and last, but not least, Smart Lookup, which enables users to search for definitions, synonyms, graphs, tables and pictures without having to leave the app.
Next up we have Excel, which now permits users to instantly change the appearance of tables using the new Table Style menu. There are also new shortcut options for formulas including cross-workbook copy and pasting, angled text and, just like Word, sharing options for new third-party platforms.
Finally, PowerPoint now allows its users to playback embedded media files on their mobile device, which means they no longer have to include links to content hosted on file-sharing websites.
To install the update on your Android-powered smartphone simply open up the Play Store, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on either Word, Excel or PowerPoint, then tap the update button. Alternatively, you can hit one of the three links below to initiate the download on your handset from the Web.
