<p>Much of the focus on Microsoft Office recently has centered on the company's plans to bring the core Office suite to the iPad and yes, that app will see the light of day, although the company isn't saying exactly when. But the Microsoft Office team has also been working toward a new generation of "app experiences" for a modern generation of devices.</p><p>That was the hint dropped by John Case, a Microsoft Office corporate vice president for marketing, as part of a much broader conversation with GeekWire about the vision and strategy for the Office business. He pointed to the OneNote note-taking program as a past example of Microsoft adding an "incredible asset" by creating a new app, which now has millions of users.</p><p>"We'll do more things like that, that will be about different form factors and different applications," he said. "The Office suite has been very consistent. We haven't had new apps in a long time. We'll have some new app investments coming. New ways of creating content, new ways of storing and organizing content."</p><p>He continued, "As much we love Word, Excel and PowerPoint, there's another generation of app experiences we want to enable. Some of it will feel like big stuff, and some will feel like small stuff. We want to let you create content in different ways that we think will be more personal for you."</p><p><a href="http://www.geekwire.com/2014/microsoft-office-exec-hints-new-generation-apps/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/2103421/microsoft-hints-at-new-apps-for-office-suite.html">Microsoft hints at new apps for Office suite</a> (PCWorld (blog))</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dIWgIOtFIjPh0YMfsKwlIRuKNliYM&authuser=0&ned=us">2 additional articles.</a></p>
