Almost anyone can now download the Microsoft Office for Android Tablets preview
When Microsoft first began previewing Microsoft Office for Android tablets, you needed an invite to even use it. The reasoning is because they hadn’t yet optimized the app for all but a few specific tablets, and they wanted to make sure early testing was done on the most ideal hardware.
Thankfully things seem to have moved along smoothly as the company is now comfortable enough to move to open preview status. They’re letting anyone with an ARM-based Android tablet (almost all tablets that don’t use Intel processors) between the sizes of 7 and 10.1 inches in on the fun, and you won’t need any signup forms: just grab the download right from Google Play.
While that size range does limit a few outlier devices, most Android tablets fall right in line so many of you shouldn’t have any issues with the app. Office for Android Tablets is still considered in preview status so keep that in mind while using it.
