Editing and Creating, Post # 6

When I first started this 23 Mobile Things project, I honestly did not have a lot of faith in how practical and useful it would be.

I'm already mistaken!

I downloaded the Microsoft Word Mobile App and was immediately blown away by the functionality. On my iPhone Plus, it is almost like having a full version of Word accessible, anywhere, on the go.

My goodness why did I not think to download this earlier?! I am in the middle of my MLIS degree and have often worked on assignments frantically as I am commuting in on the skytrain and bus to class. If I had known that I could open my Word documents and edit them straight there, instead of working on them in Google Docs and emailing them to me so I can finish in the computer lab at UBC I could have saved precious time! I was also working on stuff on my Windows Surface and then uploading them to One Drive - this way my saved versions are already complete by the time I get to school and have to print out a copy to hand in.

Well good thing I discovered this now, instead of at the end of my program. :)

PS I love the templates in this app - I already opened up one for resumes, and played around with it. It's quite user friendly. Having templates is a perfect option for creating professional looking documents - clean, organized and easy to navigate. I see this being very handy for when I become a real librarian with documents that I will have to create on a regular basis.
