Don't own an iPhone or Windows Phone, but rely on Microsoft's Office for writing, building presentations and crunching numbers? No problem.

Microsoft's venerable suite of applications, including Word, PowerPoint and Excel, is finally making its way onto smartphones powered by Google's Android mobile operating system, Microsoft said Wednesday.

Maybe best of all, the apps -- like their counterparts on Android tablets and devices running Apple's iOS operating system -- are free to download.

I have them on my iPhone, they work well.

How do you use them on your iphone, misi?

I have the suite on my PC and I've seldom even fired it up.
The small amount of documents I create are all done in Wordpad.

The Excel spreadsheet of the accounts is on the Web.
When some of my colleagues deposit some money I enter it straight to the account, cannot forget it.

How to use the rest of Office on the fone???
I have no idea...

That's handy. Limited editing hadn't occurred to me - I thought people would type "War & Peace" on the phone.

Typing is relatively easy but when you want to correct something that's hard...
No clicking...
Copy & Paste? Horrible!

Copy & Paste? Horrible!

I only just learned that the iFoney could copy and paste - in a basic way - when I did it by accident.

A thread I was reading about it said that it was hit or miss on early iphones3,4/ipad2 but has become better on the latest iphones. But horrible was also mentioned.

Not for my fingers...
Touch and press is OK.
Expand the window correctly: No luck with it.
