A closer look at Microsoft's Office Suite for the iPad (pictures)

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took the wraps off the company's Office suite for the iPad today, during a press conference in San Francisco. It includes three separate apps for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Selecting a new document in Word calls up different templates, such as brochure, business letter, or flyer.

A lorem ipsum-filled "Family Update" template is selected.

Users can insert photos in Word by choosing from those saved in the iPad's gallery and screenshot album.

With Powerpoint, users can display real-time annotation using their fingers on the touch screen.

The third app included in the Office suite is Microsoft Excel.

The many options for a new document in Excel include a finance report, a calendar, and an inventory list.
