Microsoft today released a new update for its Office apps for Android. The company today updated Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Android with new features and improvements. For Word and PowerPoint, Microsoft is introducing a new way of getting quick access to commands that will allow users to edit with speed. For Word, Microsoft is introducing some improvements for tablets, which should improve the overall editing experience. As for Excel, there aren’t any exciting new features other than support for CSV files.

Here are the changelogs:
