You Can Now Print From Office For iPad

Microsoft Office for iPad has been an almost embarrassing success for its progenitor, comfortably retaining three of the top slots in the iOS app store since its release. For days after release, Word, Excel and PowerPoint were ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. About a month later, they are 1st, 8th, and 15th.

Printing now works with any AirPrint-capable printer. Here’s what that looks like:

Standard bloviation: Microsoft has spoken ad absurdum about its quicker development cadence, during which we’ll see faster, smaller updates to its software products. Call it a company-wide hastening. This is a decent example of that work.
