You can now take pictures and edit them to your heart’s content, then import them directly to your Windows documents and androids through Office apps that are integrated to your phone’s camera!

This functionality is now available in PowerPoint for Office Insiders, and will soon be available for Word and Excel, so keep your eyes wide open folks!
