what's up everybody John render from TechnoBuffalo here Microsoft is getting into the app game and we've got PowerPoint Excel and word for iPad let's go and take a first look and see what they look like so all three of these are free downloads you can go ahead and view your office documents for free if you want to edit though Microsoft is really pushing a 365 subscription that's pretty much what this is it's a Trojan horse to get you into Microsoft subscription service let's take a first look at all three applications go ahead and open up probably when you're gonna use the most this is word if you haven't signed into 365 it'll prompt you to do so or you can choose not now and then just few documents so show you what it looks like you get all the templates that you get on standard war at least most of them now they tried to pick the most popular open up a new blank document and it looks just like word the keyboard pops up you can go ahead and type you can select text as like you would on any text editor on an iPad go ahead and select it select all you can do what you want to it bold italicize underline pick the font you can see what the fonts look like it's a very typical word experience if you want to insert things go ahead and do that right there I've ever used Microsoft Office it's going to look very familiar I'm actually really impressed doesn't look like much changed I'm making Microsoft's offering a finger friendly so real quick first look at Microsoft Word next let's take a look at Excel if you do a lot of spreadsheets you're gonna really like this guy so you got some templates there as well and it looks like very typical Excel so let's go ahead and try and do something here we'll go ahead and fill in a cell let's type make that so b5 make the one below it b7 pick one over there if you want to do all of you or a function some go to equals it does pull up the same shortcuts that you get on the desktop version so go equal some I will pick this one and we'll make a little plus sign and it deleted it so certainly there's a little bit of way to work with the formatting but as you can see what it's going to look like and how it's going to function all the inserts and formulas and stuff right there too if you don't know what they are you go ahead and just grab them directly from there so not as seamless as you saw on Word you got to sort of make sure you deselect and select if you want to start doing some function so it can be a bit complicated but it does work when you're done with all these documents whether you're in Word Excel or PowerPoint of course you can choose to save them Microsoft hope you're gonna save them to the former SkyDrive now called onedrive but you can save it to your device as well and of course you can open up documents from your onedrive they look at the last one here and it is PowerPoint they got a demo again you can open up what you've got or select a new one a PowerPoint demo is probably easiest way to start it downloads it opens it up and here is a PowerPoint demo you can see we can do with all the slides and again pretty simple you get your insert insert pictures tables or shapes transitions it's really important for PowerPoint different slideshow you pick from where you want it to start or hide it and then of course you can review if you want to put notes on there so you can see kind of quickly you know what a presentation would look like things start popping up lorem ipsum tap and hold to use a laser pointer so I can go ahead and sort of move around a big look lorem ipsum and you can move around you could play through cat uses it really is just a big cat toy so subscribe to 365 and your cat will be very entertained and you go through and sort of do the rest of the motion takes you to transitions that are there as well go and end the slideshow if you want to add slides again it's the same sort of format you pick the title slide or title and content custom layout and certainly can do whatever you want to do that you can do in standard PowerPoint so overall this really doesn't look to be that pared down from PowerPoint Excel and where you get on the desktop but certainly using this as opposed to this can be a bit more complicated but if we're in a pinch here of you know business travels when you want to go to edit a document or create a document be able just to save it natively and awards it's gonna be a pretty good choice it's a very competitive market of course apples got thrown offerings in there a ton of third-party spreadsheet and PowerPoint asked and we're processing applications out there Microsoft was hoping though that they're free offering free with giant quotations so Microsoft here is obviously hoping that their free offering can compete and at least get people to subscribe to office 365 because then you can edit and of course download all the desktop applications as well so what you guys think are you gonna use these not use these
