Microsoft Office beta testers will soon get MacBook Pro Touch Bar support
The jury is still out on whether the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pros are a total gimmick or not — some people really like it but others, not so much.
While it'll take some time before there's a healthy crop of apps with Touch Bar support, Microsoft Office is ready to finally join the club.

Regular Office users will get to use it in the coming months.
Touch Bar features appear to be fairly simple and straightforward, like displaying useful tools for formatting text and fonts in Word and PowerPoint.

Office joins the short list of third-party apps — like Adobe Photoshop, Pixelmator, djay Pro and 1Password — to support the Touch Bar.
Hackers, however, have come up with all kinds of interesting Touch Bar integrations like a mini piano, that endless Nyan Cat and even playable classic games like Doomand Pac-Man.
