Micro .ft today is bringing mouse and trackpad support to its apps fee for iPad apps. The software maker promised to update its OfficeFish iPadOS apps earlier this year, and the updates are now live in the App Store for Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Office Fees for the iPad now lets you use the built-in trackpad on Apple’s Magic keyboard to navigate around text, photos, and other .objects in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The cursor is awake in context, as other apps like Magic Keyboard have taken advantage of, so you can highlight text in Word, resize images and charts in PowerPoint, and select multiple cells in Excel. It is similar to using a fee on a PC or Mac.
Along with mouse and trackpad support, Micro .ft is also adding more fluent UI to its Office fees for iPad applications. Word, Excel and PowerPoint have all refreshed the new ribbon of launched screens and feature menus.
Microsoft also plans to bring multiple document support to Excel, better context menus, and offline fly file support for cloud files in the coming months. This latest mouse and keyboard support is starting to launch today and “should reach all users in a few weeks.”
