Microsoft makes it easier to use pictures from your Android phone in Word or PowerPoint

A new feature in Office Insiders will allow you to insert images from your phone into a Word or PowerPoint file. This is the first time that Microsoft has built the ability to transfer content between Windows PCs and phones into one of its apps.

To get started, open a web-based Word or PowerPoint document, and then hit the insert button. You will have to take the extra steps to link your device to your PC if you haven't already done so.

If you haven't already, you'll need to download the Link to Windows app from the Play Store. You can choose which photos you want to add to a Word or PowerPoint document by browsing through the photos from your PC.

The feature is being released to make sure things are working well. I could see myself using it as a way to quickly grab and insert screenshots into a document I am working on without leaving the app.
