Getting started with Office Mobile for iPhone

We are excited to be adding even more value to our Office 365 subscriptions with the new Office Mobile for iPhone.

Office Mobile now enables iPhone users to access, view and edit their Office documents on the go, similar to what is already preinstalled today on Windows Phone 8.

I wanted to give you a little more detail behind Office Mobile for iPhone, and hopefully answer some questions you might have.

If you aren't already an Office 365 subscriber, you can visit www.office.com to learn more about Office 365 and sign up for a trial. To get started, let's take a look at the set-up experience.

Signing in

When signing in to Office Mobile for iPhone, you can use either a Microsoft account associated with your Office 365 subscription or your organisation account if you are using Office 365 at work. Don't worry if you have both types of accounts. You can access all your cloud storage places, for example SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro, after you sign in.

Navigating Office Mobile

From the homepage, you can easily move between your recent documents, open any document from your cloud storage locations, create a new Office document, and update your settings. Let's take a look at each area more in depth.

From the recent tab, the last documents you worked on from either your PC (running the new Office) or phone will automatically update here. This is enabled by Office 365's roaming documents feature so that, whichever Office 365 device you are using, you always have the latest version and Office knows where you left off.
