Says its available now but can't find it in the Android app store? Any ideas?

Image to text is not recognizing hand writing.   I write in block letters and kanji was returned

This app is great! It would be even better if it would permit sorting files by date on OneDrive. Otherwise, I have to try to remember the title of a recently stored file, and then browse through many dozens of files to find it. It's much easier to remember roughly the date when it was put on OneDrive, rather than remember the exact name of the file. So please, add this sort capability to the file access feature.

I uninstalled WPS on my phone instantly after using this app.

Have it installed - great tool. Very good step forward. :thumbs_up:

Great on my phone but nothing for my tablet.

Great looking features.  I'm unable to use my corporate account though which kind of defeats the purpose.

No logro abrir PDF s. La App no puede leer. 

Brass Contributor
>> I can't open PDF s. The App cannot read. My PDFs with many pics are opened smoothly. I suppose it depends on type of pdf, maybe some are not supported.

Interestingly it bypasses my company's MDM security (and Microsoft Authenticator approval requirements :face_with_rolling_eyes:). I know it's beta, but bypassing Microsoft Authenticator is something that shouldn't have passed Alpha testing

Excelente!!!

Tengo todo donde sea que vaya

How do I turn off autosave in word and Excel in this app? Sometimes I just want to look at the information and not re save the file to a current date.

  • I wanted bid terms projects as presentation as scecurely

Im excited

Works so well on my phone. However, file transfer from phone to my pc is still difficult pls fix that. Other than that I can easily use this app as my no. 1 file editor.

Copper Contributor

Booo Microsoft.  These are horrible directions and tries to force user into a beta program without other options.  Again: Boo!

And what if we want to deploy to a pilot group using MDM and google play for work?

Home screen in app the remove from list function shows items that were moved or deleted and hence they cannot be removed.  Suggestion: Leave this blank until one of the office app in this new version access a file....It is a good feature but I would not let it go back after one week in time.  Sorry for posting here can't get Google Groups to work.

I subscribed for Home version.  But I can't activate the office365 on my Samsung Tab S6 and Note8.  Now, I can use only "Read-only" version.  Any suggestion?

Copper Contributor

こんにちは

Hasta ahora da buena pinta, es una buena idea encerrar el ecosistema Office en una sola aplicacion, ocupa menos espacio que instalar las aplicaciones por separado.

@Bill Doll @Intune Support Team how to add this app to Intune as Managed Google Play app? We enrolled our Managed Google Play account in the preview :)

Ok

I think Office Hub should support passcode/fingerprint/faceid to increase security for app because it link data on OneDrive

I need three things from Excel on a phone.

  • To be able to open a file to tweak some numbers to see what changes occur and then quit the file without saving changes to the file.
  • Have available whatever functions I may be using in that file.
  • Have the ability to run VBA code in that file to get some of the results I am looking for.

My hope someday is that an ARM processor can run full office. I have never had a problem running Excel on a small screen. I just zoom in and out to see what I want to see.
