#office clippy

While Microsoft may be preparing for a huge OS update for this month, the Redmond giant is also testing another software in the form of the next-generation Microsoft Office. "Office 16", in its technical preview, shall feature a darker 'black' theme alongside the current Light Gray, Dark Gray, and White colors. Microsoft says it is the number one requested feature since releasing Office 2013. It will also bring back Clippy, sans the character and animation, in a feature called Tell Me. This new addition hails from the Office Online apps, and will guide users with questions that they may encounter when using the programs. A mobile version of Microsoft's MS Office will be coming to Android and iOS devices in early 2013. The Office Mobile will be a free app that will allow Android and iOS users to view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. Since the free app only allows viewing of documents, users can enable the editing functionality by purchasing an Office 365 subscription within the app. Read more in our articles including "Next MS Office features darker theme, helper a la Clippy" and "Microsoft to release Office for Android and iOS".
