administration – and that’s a good thing. Microsoft said
this is in limited preview and should roll out in 2020.- A new Office app for iOS, Android
If you typically open those apps in the Office mobile
app for Android or iOS, there’s a new Office app

“Users will also be able to do a variety of common
on-the-go tasks, such as converting images to
text, creating and signing PDFs, and sharing files
between devices,” Microsoft revealed. The new
mobile Office app entered public preview for iOS
and Android on 4 November. - Outlook adds a load of useful features
Outlook’s receiving a bunch of new features: Play My
