Users of Apple iPads and other devices and those with Android tablets will be able to use the apps to store documents without a subscription, Microsoft said. Microsoft earlier this year released the Office app for iPad, but users needed to pay an annual license fee for cloud-based Office 365. "Today, we're taking the next major step to bring Office to everyone, on every device," Microsoft vice president John Case said in a statement.
