Last month, Microsoft went online-it continued the powerful and familiar look of the Microsoft Office suite and designed a smooth touch experience for the tablet side. Yesterday (33 days on line), Microsoft officially announced the first update of the ipad version of Office, users will be able to print (according to Microsoft's official blog, this is the user's call for the number one function), PowerPoint, SmartGuides and other functions.

The so-called printing function means that the new version supports the AirPrint printer. Word users can choose whether to attach a tag, and an Excel user can choose to print a specific area, a single page, or an entire table.

The SmartGuides feature helps users arrange pictures, graphics, and text boxes more easily on slides.

Finally, there are some other updates in this new version, such as the version of Excel that supports automatic resizing, which allows users to adjust multiple lines of width or multiple columns at the same time. In addition, the update also repairs some vulnerabilities and improves the stability of software operations.

Microsoft's move certainly has its own considerations--office has long occupied PC-side office software, in contrast, its performance on the mobile side is not very well. Although there are a number of third-party software that indirectly provides users with the functionality and services of Office software (such as screen mapping), the limited or even bad user experience does not win significant market returns. The ipad's one-month-old online capture of millions of downloads shows the market's exposure to Apple's iOS, as well as Microsoft's Office suite, which still meets the needs of users in the mobile internet era.
