What's new in Microsoft Office Build 16.0.14701 for Android

Microsoft Office Mobile: Eagle Eye view

Do you find it challenging to move back and forth among open documents in Office Mobile? Now you can use Eagle Eye view to see all your active documents at one time, and move content between them with ease. To activate this view, swipe down from the file header or file name; tap to select the document you want, or tap Home to open a new document.

 

 

Microsoft Word: Dark Mode

You asked for it! You now have the option of a “true Dark Mode” experience in Word for Android—turning your document canvas black. This feature can improve the reading experience in dark environments and reduce eye strain for users. To activate Dark Mode, just turn on Dark Mode in your device settings or go to App Settings and turn it on for Word.
