Free Microsoft Office Apps for Compatible Chromebooks Only



Last week we updated in our other blog post on that Microsoft office apps are blocked in Chormebooks Google play Store.
Now Microsoft says Apps will continue running in Compatible Chromebooks.
A representative for the Microsoft organization has said an official articulation to loan some clarity to the present condition of improvement for Office Applications and Chrome OS.
“Our strategy has not changed. Office for Android is supported on Chrome OS devices via the Google Play Store. While Google Play on Chrome OS is in beta, we are partnering with Google to deliver the best experience for Chromebook users and plan to make the apps available on all compatible devices by general availability.”

If you missed the story earlier, Chromebook clients with the Asus Flip and Acer R11 have reported that endeavors to introduce Microsoft Office Apps from the Play Store were bringing about the message that these applications are incongruent with their gadgets.

While no official articulation had been made, the assumptions were that Microsoft would limit access to their applications for Chrome OS gadgets as they are customized for versatile utilize.

This brings a moan of alleviation for clients who depend on Office Apps for individual and expert utilize when different choices are not plausible.


While these applications at first worked on Chrome OS gadgets, Microsoft has been obvious that the capacity to make, alter and share would be confined to gadgets 10.1″ and less; nonetheless, with an Office 365 membership, clients with gadgets more than 10.1" may even now make, alter, and partake in Office applications, as noted here.

“On devices larger than 10.1”, an Office 365 subscription is required to unlock the ability to create, edit or print documents.”
This exceptionally well might be a piece of the continuous improvement as Microsoft chooses how to approach the regularly developing Chromebook showcase.

With one and only Chromebooks in the 10 inch or less class (the ASUS Flip C100PA) Microsoft could exceptionally well influence a paid or membership benefit for gadgets more noteworthy than that size.

As it sits, gadgets more than 10 inches require an Office 365 membership or some likeness thereof to get to full usefulness. The free applications are still accessible, for only to view.
