Just published Office Word Touch
Taking a side step from my other project (Software project for civil/structural field engineer) I just wrote a touch oriented office app for windows tablets and PC's. The goal of this project is to get as close to a real MS Office Word experience with touch-oriented UI as possible.
#-Link-Snipped-#
I started this project because I couldn't find any touch-oriented app on the windows app store that actually worked. Most are just simple text editors with no support for tables, images, word cross-outs, etc. So, I wrote this app to allow metro users to have a touch-oriented MS Word experience.
There are 2 menus: the collapsible radial menu and the menu bars on the left. Why put the menu bar on the left? Traditionally, menus are put either on top or bottom. Well, because most people use tablets in landscape mode. Why take vertical real estates away from the document itself while there are empty unused spaces on the left or right side of the tablet? To me, putting the menu bars on the left makes more sense. Gives the document itself more vertical space.
Anyway, if you have windows 8.1, try it out and please give me suggestions on how I can make it better. Trial has full features.
