Hi, friends, I'm Xiaomu.

The technology circle has been depressed for a long time, and it has been a long time since a new product can arouse the desire of Brother Mu to write a special evaluation article for it. I think of the last "Double Flash" that I wrote, It's almost freezing now...

The last one is "Baidu Brain Map". Although it is not cool yet, in its official FAQ, there have been soul-searching questions like "Is Baidu Brain Map still maintained?"...

And today,

I feel very honored,

I can write a review article for the mobile version [office] released by Microsoft a few days ago...

With the basic emotion of "Whoever writes will die", I eagerly downloaded and played with this [office] APP...

After tinkering for a while, I found that this app that integrates PPT/Excel/Word has nothing to do with it except that it is not very convenient to do PPT and frequently has BUG There's nothing wrong with it...

Next, if you want to see how cool the PPT I made with the mobile version [office], then you can die and close this article...

But if you want to see how I was ravaged by this APP over and over again...then you can continue to scroll down...

It is inconvenient to make PPT documents

When I heard that Office has a mobile version, I guess most people think about the following question:

Will it be possible to use mobile phones to make PPT/Excel/Word in the future?

To be honest, before I downloaded the 【office】app, I thought the same way innocently...

It wasn't until I was beaten up by its anti-human production process that I gave up the idea with a bruised nose...

Here I will take the PPT production function inside as an example.

First of all, let's enter the APP first, click the plus sign in the middle, and you can create a [blank] PPT/Excel/Word document:

If you belong to the kind of people who can’t live without templates, you can also choose to use [templates] when creating a new PPT document, but these built-in templates are ugly beyond description...

After creating the PPT, click on the […] in the lower right corner, and you can find the familiar tabs on the computer:

Except for some trivial functions (such as aligning and editing vertices), you can see the main functions that were originally on the computer version of PPT, and it seems that they can be found on the mobile version.

It looks pretty good, doesn't it? Don't panic, every scumbag looks like this harmless to humans and animals at first...

Only when you really want to use it for PPT, you will find that the problem that was originally "not a problem" on the computer has become a problem...

▎First, the problem of material insertion.

The mobile version of PPT can only insert two kinds of materials, one is pictures, and the other is icons.

The pictures must be on your own mobile phone, and the icons are those that come with the APP, and the number is as small as your hair.

• If you want to insert a SmartAr chart, sorry, this APP does not;
• If you want to insert< strong>3D material, sorry, this APP does not support 3D function;
• If you want to use some special font, sorry, you can only use it in the APP Self-contained;
• If you want to insert other PPT materials (such as ordinary charts), then you need to download the PPT materials (only in PPT format) to your phone Go to, open it with [office] and then copy and paste the material, it is too troublesome to vomit blood;

...

"Never do PPT without materials" is the basic quality of a material porter in the workplace. If the mobile version of PPT cannot easily insert materials, what is the difference from doing PPT without the Internet?

▎Second, the problem of selecting elements.

Everyone knows that if too many elements are inserted into the PPT, occasionally there will be a situation where a certain element cannot be selected...

When you encounter this kind of problem, you can use the [Selection Pane] tool on the computer to easily solve it:

But on a mobile phone, you have to remove all the elements that cover the element before you can select the element...

For example, when I want to remove the line frame at the bottom of "Half Price for All", I have to remove all the elements above the line frame before I can select and delete it:

Trouble is only two words, I have to say it ten thousand times! ! !

▎Third, the problem of missing functions.

In addition to the lack of the "selection pane" function mentioned above, the mobile version of PPT also lacks more important functions such as "alignment tools, SmartArt, merge shapes, and slide masters".

In other words, humanized operations such as "align multiple elements with one click, add logos in batches" and other humanized operations cannot be realized on the mobile version of PPT...

And for basic functions like "customizing shape/line color, adding shadow to shape/picture" and so on, you must pay for office365 to use:

In summary:

• If you just want to simply modify the PPT document on the mobile phone, such as changing a few words and the color of a few elements, that is no problem;
• If you just want to make a simple document, such as a PPT with simple text and pictures on pages 3 and 4, that is no problem;
• But if you want to make a document from 0 Beautiful and complicated document, then I advise you: If you have this spare time, you might as well hurry up and take a taxi to the nearest Internet cafe...

In addition to the PPT production function, the Excel and Word production functions in the mobile version [office] are still very good.

First of all, there are many original functions in Excel, but without the assistance of shortcut keys, the speed will be slower when processing some complex data.

Secondly, when making a Word document, if you can use the voice input function of "Xunfei Input Method", you will find that typing is faster than a computer!

That is to say, for Excel or Word, the mobile version [office] can meet most of your needs, but for PPT, it is recommended that you be honest and practical with a computer, or wait for the ipad version.

Other buggy features

Don't look at some products whose main function is not good enough, but their secondary functions can be unrivaled in the world.

For example, QQ has been very successful in this regard. Although the main function of communication cannot beat WeChat, they insist on relying on secondary functions such as "QQ screenshot" and "quick login to the website" to firmly occupy the lower right corner of each computer. The C bit...

The mobile version [office] may also be well aware of this truth, so when the main function of document production is not hard enough, it also launched the following functions:

"Extracting text and tables from images", "Transferring files between computers and mobile phones"...It looks very business and professional!

1) Extract text and table functions;

Although it is not a high-frequency requirement to extract text or tables from pictures, it can really save the lives of people in the workplace when it is used at critical moments...

With infinite admiration for the spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded in the mobile version [office], I used it to take pictures of a paragraph on the computer screen and a form:

After clicking "Finish", it identified the following things for me...

Seeing this picture, my 5-year-old nephew was frightened and cried on the spot...

After finally coaxing my nephew, I used it to identify paper documents again with great difficulty. This time I blindfolded my nephew in advance...

To my surprise, it successfully recognized text and tables!

Later, I tried to use several different computer screens to identify, and found that it was good and bad, and whether I could recognize the text on the screen seemed to depend entirely on its mood...

2) Transfer files between computer and mobile phone;

I originally wanted to skip the function of "mutual file transfer", because I think this technology is already so mature, and there is still a need for evaluation?

But it turns out that if it is so easy for me to guess, Microsoft's father is not Microsoft's father...

First, click the "Transfer Files" button, and then you can send or receive files between the computer and the phone (the wording "the file size is limited to within 10MB" is particularly glaring...):

Then, I followed the prompts and opened the web page of "tansfer.office.com" on my computer to receive files on my phone:

Finally, I clicked the "Send" button on the phone, opened the code scanning box, and prepared to connect the phone to the computer, and then I couldn't focus...

After I tried handstands, push-ups, and the posture of scanning codes under the crotch, it finally succeeded in focusing! !

Do you think you can happily send the small video on your phone to your computer next?

Heh, I have already said that if you can guess its next move, Microsoft's father will not have to mess around in the world of pretending to beeping.

After finally successfully scanning the code, a "connection failed" screen appeared, and this is not an accidental event, because no matter how many times I try, I can't connect successfully:

Looking at the pants I accidentally tore from attempting the crotch sweeping pose, I gave up…

3) PDF-related functions;

When I tried the PDF-related functions in [office], I was almost moved to tears... because they can all be used normally...

• Sign PDFs

Use it when you need to sign a PDF file!

• Scan to PDF

Use it when you want to scan documents, paper documents, photos or whiteboards!

• Convert images to PDF

Use it when you want to stitch up to 10 pictures on your phone into one PDF!

• Document to PDF

You can still use it when you want to convert documents on your phone to PDF! !

...

I'm so excited to see so many functional features all at once, sorry!

To sum up, aside from so many bugs, first of all, Microsoft’s original intention of launching the mobile version of [office] is still very good, but it still cannot escape the limitation of the operating terminal (creating documents on the mobile phone is really troublesome).

If you're just using it for some simple office stuff, it's fine for the job, but if you really want to use it as a productivity tool, all I can say is: take care, man...

Finally, if you also want to experience the pleasure of being ravaged...then you can reply "office" in the official account to get the APP download link.

That's all for this issue, let's be cheap in the next issue...
