Microsoft last month released its first update for the Office for the iPad suite, with a new printing feature. Users can now print Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations on a printer connected to the iPad, using the inbuilt Apple AirPrint feature.

Microsoft's Office apps are free, but users need an Office 365 subscription for making edits to documents. Microsoft recently introduced its Office 365 Personal subscription in India, priced at Rs. 330 per month, or Rs. 3,299 for an annual subscription.
