Office allows you to create three

types of files within the app: a

typical Office document, a Sticky

Note, and an Office document

using the Office Lens capability

You can use Office Lens to scan

a printed document, such as

this page from a magazine

document, as well as access the
Office Lens portion of the app.
Office Lens is worth a few
moments of your time. Lens
‘looks’ at a whiteboard or printed
document, intelligently aligns it,
and then scans
it into your
phone – just
like a document
scanner.
The interface
conceals some of
its depth; the automatic border that
appears to show you the boundaries
of what the app is ‘seeing’ is a bit
faint, and by default the app saves
whatever it sees as a photo. If you
save what Office Lens sees as a
‘document’ and tap the file format
