Microsoft began to offer limited access to Office for Android tablet preview back in November, but those interested needed to sign up to test the apps. Now the Redmond giant has finally decided to allow everyone to give them a try without having to wait at all.

"Today, we are excited to announce that we are further expanding the preview. We want more feedback from more users to ensure that Office apps work well on a range of different Android tablets before launching the official apps," writes the Office 365 Team on the official Office Blogs. The preview apps support ARM-based Android tablets with screens between 7 and 10.1 inches, loaded with KitKat or Lollipop.

According to the same source mentioned above, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint can be downloaded from Google Play since January 6. The sizes of these apps are as it follows: 125 MB for Excel, 115 MB for Word, and 126 MB for PowerPoint.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
