Microsoft Word 1.12 for iOS:

• Change case—Quickly change selected text to uppercase, lowercase, sentence case, and more.
• Send with Outlook—Send a document as an Outlook email attachment and return to Word.

Microsoft Excel 1.12 for iOS:

• Send with Outlook—Send a spreadsheet as an Outlook email attachment and return to Excel.
• Integration with Outlook—Edit a spreadsheet attached to an Outlook email message. When you’re done, the updated spreadsheet will be attached to a new email message, ready to send.
