Microsoft has finally optimized its Office application for the iPad and the user interface of its tablet. Until now, iPads had an iPhone app that worked with a window, without using its enhanced multitasking features, such as split screen.
Interestingly, Microsoft has the Office app, which wraps Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as stand-alone Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps for the iPad, which were already optimized for iPadOS. It’s unclear whether Apple will keep the apps separate or just merge them into the new Office app.
Now iPad users will be able to create PDFs, sign documents, convert images to text or table. Microsoft recently added mouse and trackpad support for Word and Excel for the iPad. All of these updates make the iPad a viable option for those who want to use it in place of a laptop.
