Microsoft brings Office preview to Windows 10 Phones in April

Microsoft is bringing previews of its universal Office apps - Word, Excel and Powerpoint - to Windows smartphones,  Cnet.com reports

The new apps will come to the Windows 10 Technical Preview for Windows phones in late April and will offer a taste of Office 2016, and yet another glimpse at Microsoft's plans to make Windows 10 the Everywhere OS. Windows 10 is set to officially launch sometime this summer,.

"Documents are a relic of when people printed things out," said Jared Spataro, the General idManager of Office Marketing at Microsoft.

During the demo, Spataro showed Word running on a Nokia Lumia 1520, which he admitted is a rather cramped place for writing and editing documents. But with Windows 10, Microsoft is taking pains to address areas the company has historically neglected: mobile devices, liketablets and smartphones.
