Install and set up Office on an iPhone or iPad
There are two ways to get Office on your iPhone:
You can install the new Office app that combines Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into a single app, and introduces new mobile-centric features to view, edit and share files without the need to switch between multiple apps. Note that Office mobile app is currently available for iPhone (support for iPad will come later). Learn more.
Or you can install the Office apps individually on your iPhone or iPad:
Note: Are you on a MacBook or Mac? You'll install the desktop version of Office.
Use the Office mobile apps to work from anywhere, just sign in with a free Microsoft account or an Microsoft 365 work or school account. With a qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription, you'll have access to the app's extra features.
Set up Office for iOS
Open an Office app like Excel.
Sign in with your Microsoft account, or Microsoft 365 work or school account and tap Next.
Sign in with your account associated with your Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet subscription.

How do I open documents in an Office mobile app?
-
Tap the service where your files are located. For example, tap Open > OneDrive - Personal or tap Open > OneDrive - your business name.

You'll see the files you saved. The files you see are specific to the app you opened them in. For example, if you opened the Word app, you'll only see Word documents.
To view any OneNote notebooks you saved to OneDrive or OneDrive for work or school, tap + Open Existing.
To use the extra features in the apps, you must sign in with the Microsoft account or work or school account that's associated with your qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription.
