The updated versions of Office Web Apps, available on preview since July, are now available for SkyDrive and Outlook.com users.

The apps, which currently work with the final version of Internet Explorer 10, Windows 8, and iOS 6, unveiled many new features and improvements.

Word Web App has new page-layout tools, picture tools and word count. Excel lets you rename or add sheets as needed, and also enables printing from the browser. PowerPoint brings audio and video playback support; it also has the ability to insert images, apply transitions and animations, as well as add pre-designed themes to a presentation from the browser.

Finally, the new OneNote Web App has enhanced search capabilities, and the ability to add notes, pictures or tags with greater ease. It also lets you share notes as URLs, viewable on a PC, phone or tablet.
