Office and OneDrive Updates for iPad Pro, iOS9, and WatchOS 2

Microsoft has released updates to its Office 2016 Mac suite and OneDrive. The big news for me was that they have enabled the inking tools in OneNote to work with the Apple “pencil.” Now you really have no excuse for not using the best App out there.

Microsoft is taking advantage of the new multitasking features of the iPad Pro by using the Slide Over and Split View functions. (I wonder where Apple got the idea for these features? Microsoft Surface, anyone?!?)

Microsoft upped the ante with Intelligent Search, Wireless Keyboard Support, and two Watch enhancements for Outlook and Translator.
