Microsoft announced on its Office Web Apps blog this afternoon that its preview platform gained touch-enabled support on Safari for iOS to make it easier to navigate while on the go. Microsoft said OWA is sporting the same new interface that was introduced a week ago—except its been updated with a “focus on scenarios and experiences on a touch device.” Scenarios include zooming in and out of documents with two fingers, easily tapping to place an insertion point between words to begin typing, and selecting multiple words to easily edit.
For those unfamiliar with OWA, it allows SkyDrive, Hotmail, Docs.com, and Facebook Messages users to reach their documents from any web browser through web-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and One Note. If you constantly edit documents with colleagues, it may be the solution for you. [OWA Preview via Engadget]
