The Office suite is currently the best set of office automation applications that we can use to write documents, create spreadsheets and create presentations on any device, be it smartphone, computer or tablet. Although in iOS we can find Pages, Numbers and Keynote, these Apple applications still do not offer us all the options that we can be used to with the Microsoft suite, but for many users it is more than enough.
Microsoft has just launched a new update of Word, Excel and Powerpoint focused mainly on the iPhone, since it allows us to make drawings directly in the application using a finger or a stylus, but it also allows us to highlight text, make annotations, write freehand ... Last January Microsoft updated these three applications by adding support to be able to make drawings in the application using the finger or the Apple Pencil.
As usual, like all Microsoft applications, Word, Excel and Powerpoint are available for download free of charge, with which we can edit or modify any file without having to use an Office 365 subscription, although with some limitations.
