Microsoft Office Remote

Microsoft Office Remote can help you make the most of your Windows Phone handset by using it to remotely control Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel. It is important to note that you need to install a dedicated application on your smartphone, called Office Remote, then connect it to your PC via Bluetooth.

Once the connection has been established, you will be able to use your handset to remotely navigate to the next slide of your PowerPoint presentation, modify the zoom level of your Excel project or navigate through worksheets by swiping the touchscreen of your phone. Managing the documents from your Android or Windows phone is a walk in the park.

For Word documents, you have the possibility to jump directly to the heading in your documents, scroll up and down the page and view the comments made. In addition to scrolling through the spreadsheet, for Excel you can zoom in and out to get a better view of the data, flick between worksheets and interact with the slicers, filters and PivotTables.

The utility is quite impressive for PowerPoint, especially since it enables you to view slide thumbnails and jump between them, view presentations timers and slide counters, move to the first or last slide of the presentation or user a laser point to draw attention to the main points.
