Office For iPad Now Prints

It’s been less than a month but in line with Microsoft’s recent move to being more responsive, Office for iPad has already been updated. The major news is that you can now print to any AirPrint compatible printer.  AirPrint was developed by Apple and it allows you to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi and many contemporary printers already come with  support for this connectivity.

The print options aren’t bad either. In Word you can decide which pages to print, whilst in Excel you can print a selected range, a sheet, or the entire notebook. In Powerpoint you are restricted to printing the whole presentation.

Apparently, a print option was the number one request for the new product and Microsoft should be applauded for responding incredibly quickly to what their customers need. However, we still feel a little aggrieved that you can only purchase the Office suite through an Office 365 pricing model. You can get a free version but that limits you to just open and reading documents, and you can’t edit or save amendments.
