Multiple instances of Microsoft Office Apps

Actually, I think you mean about having more than one file open at the same time as you would on the computer. While you can open a file and then open a second file, the app does not allow for the first file to remain open, although it remains in your Recents. I rarely use the Office apps to do major work on the iOS devices, but I agree with Lotus Pilot that you should direct this to Microsoft Office support.

Nobody here can provide definitive comment as to Microsoft products.

As your question relates to a third-party product, in this case Microsoft, you will need to either contact Microsoft (the developer), or make enquiries via Microsoft’s own support communities.

You could also try trawling the technical press for speculation as to Microsoft’s development roadmap.

I hope that you find this to be helpful in directing you to appropriate sources of help and information.

What do you mean by multiple instances of Microsoft Office apps? You can download Microsoft Office apps on the iPad currently.

Sounds like a question for the app developer.

Why do you need multiple instances of a Microsoft app, in case there is a current solution to your needs.
