In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make new documents, spreadsheets, and presentations using Office, for free, and also how to open and edit your existing documents online.


They’re the same Microsoft Office apps you’re used to, only they run online and are 100% free. At the new, you can use basic versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for free in your browser. But what if you really would rather just use Microsoft Office apps, since they work great with the files you already have and you’re already used to them? You could use LibreOffice or Google Docs for free, or if you have a Mac you can use Apple’s iWork apps for far less than Office costs. That’s not so expensive, per se, if you need to use Office all day, but if all you need to do is type up a few letters and organize your personal finances, it’s definitely expensive. The new Office 365 will cost you around $9/month, and a stand-alone copy of Office 2013 costs over $100 even with a discount. (Users with mobile devices with screens smaller than 10.1 inches can create and edit documents without signing into a Microsoft subscription.Microsoft Office is one of the more expensive sets of productivity software most people will purchase. On an iPad 10.1-inch (or larger), a subscription is required to create and edit documents, as is outlined in the App Store description. To unlock more than basic functionality, users will need to subscribe to Microsoft 365 personal ($6.99 per month) or Microsoft 365 Family ($9.99 per month). The Office app is a free download from the App Store. The new Office app for iPad requires iOS 13.0 or later. Microsoft made the unified Office app available for iOS and Android last February. The Office app also allows users to create PDFs, convert screenshots to PDF or PPT insert notes into PDFs and more.

The Office app, like its iPhone, Windows and Android complements, is meant to provide some of the most-used features from Word, Excel and PowerPoint, along with some related capabilities. Microsoft officials said earlier this month to expect this app to show up in the App Store, but didn't say when that would happen. Microsoft's Office app - a single app combining Word, Excel and PowerPoint features - is available for iPads from the Apple App Store as of today, February 16.
