Office Web Apps adds new features

Office Web Apps is adding some new features today, making it easier to use OneNote and Excel, and a number of behind the scenes improvements to make it faster and more reliable.

Then, in Excel, three significant new changes: Merge and Autofit cells; Print directly from the browser; and right-click menus:
