The Documents section will allow you not only to start new documents, but to scan paper documents and convert them into digital office documents.  I was particularly impressed with the "scan table" feature, which converts a table to a spreadsheet in excel.

I know I will already be deleting my old Office apps for my mobile devices, and start using this new app.
