If you are an iPad user, Microsoft has brought the new lasso tool making it easier to select and rearrange groups of audio recordings, images, text, shapes and any other item on the canvas. Also, iPad users can now rearrange audio recordings, images, text, and shapes by touching and dragging.
Also, iPad and iPhone users will now be able to insert multiple photos on a page at once.
