Microsoft unveils Office Insider for Mac, new PowerPoint tools for iOS

PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft on Thursday, january 21 launched a slew of Microsoft Office improvements as part of its monthly update for the productivity suite. January brings the launch of the Office Insider program for Mac, new inking tools for iPad and iPad Pro, and new PowerPoint features to iOS, VentureBeat reports.

In November 2015, Microsoft launched Office Insider, an ongoing preview program for Office 365 subscribers looking to test new features and improvements coming to the suite’s apps. Office Insider was limited to just Office 2016 for Windows, but at the time Microsoft said a Mac version “is coming soon.” Now it has delivered.

If you’re an Office 365 user with a Mac, you can join by heading to office.com/insider. There you’ll be able to opt to get Office Insider builds directly from the Microsoft Auto Update tool for OS X.

Next up, Microsoft is releasing new inking tools in its Office for iPad and iPad Pro apps. The goal is to make it easy to use your finger or Apple Pencil when working with Office documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and notes.
