App for editing microsoft word documents

I am a PhD student in the area of engineering sciences and I frequently need to write journal articles which are mathematically involved. I am just wondering if there are any word editing apps on iPad which can recognize mathtype equations? I purchased documents to go and it is not very useful to me.. And also, I would like to be able to see .emf type pictures embedded within my word document.. I would also like to accept/reject changes made by others on my documents.. all these, documents to go is not able to do, and this is a real frustration.. anybody know any remedies or apps that can do just what I need? I need the app to be as close to microsoft word as possible..

I work on word and xl files daily. for documents, Pages is fine. It does not do everything Word does, but remember, this is a portable streamed down machine.
i also use docs 2 go from data viz. Its also fine, but for word applications, i usually end up in pages. It just works better for me. docs 2 go is good for me for transferring a set of documents without needing to sync or use i tunes.
For spreadsheets, you can view and do light edits in Numbers, and the dataviz is also functional, but i want to tell you that heavy duty spreadsheet work on an i pad is just not a real fun experience. It will work, but you will be a lot happeir in that world with a larger screen, a mosue, and a real keyboard. The mechanics of moving around a sheet and making cell corrections, especially to formulas, is just a little clunky.
lastly, if you are going to try heavy duty stuff, an external keyboard is a nice thing to have along. the existence of the arrow keys, to me, really help in navigation.

Making iWork the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents

Is there a way to make Pages, Numbers and Keynote the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents, such that if I double-click a Word document it launches Pages and opens, etc.? I know I can do it by double-clicking the Office document and dragging it to the appropriate iWork app in the dock, but it would be nice to have it happen by default. That way I can put Office in my rearview mirror!

Fantastic - worked exactly as advertized. Thank you both!! Office is now a distant memory (except when I have to save in MS formats to send files to the unfortunate masses).
Best regards,

App to Edit Microsoft word, excel

Hi their,
I want a great app to edit Microsoft word & excel files. If possible it should also be able to retrieve files from my email attachments that i receive or send. I really need an app as I already have the iPhone with other brilliant apps, but still lack this feature. I am also doing this for my father who is looking for ward to buy the iPhone instead of other business devices.
Please do answer me..............

QuickOffice's MobileFiles Pro was released last week, which currently allows editing of excel spreadsheets, word doc editing is coming in a future update (I don't know when exactly). It also allows viewing of all the usual office, iwork, PDF, image files etc. as well as playback of audio/video files. You can access your MobileMe iDisk with the app, and download files to the iPhone's local storage, as well as uploading xls files you have created/edited locally with the app. If you don't use MobileMe, the app has the ability of transferring files over your wifi network.
I've got it and highly recommend it. What it does, it does very well, however there are features I'd like to see added, like cut/copy/paste of cells, ability to email files as attachments, fast-scrolling/bookmarking in large PDFs/docs, word doc & ppt file editing/creation.
QuickOffice have been in the game for a long time with native apps on Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian & BlackBerry, so I'd expect the app to get better and better over time.
Here's the link to the app:

App for Editing Excel/Numbers document while using VGA/iPad/Projector

Is there an app that will allow you to edit a spreadsheet while it is projected using the VGA adapter with an iPad connected to a projector? For example, you are doing a budget in a meeting room using the iPad and a projector, and you need to change the entries on a spreadsheet to reflect a change that a group of people choose to make.
I know GoodReader, for example, gives you the VGA out option, so the spreadsheet can be projected, I just need something that allows me to change the document. It would be great if Pages and Numbers offered a VGA out option for this purpose.

There is no app that will accomplish what you want to do.
You can send feedback to Apple here and request this ability: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

App for editing/reading/writing Excel, Word, Windows notepad text documents

I was wondering if any of you's could recommend some apps (from experience) that would allow me to, edit/read/write Excel, Word, Windows notepad text documents.
I could make do with an app that would do the above but without the ability to create, edit Windows notepad text documents. But been able to read, write, edit Word and Excel documents would have to be a must.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for the help it was much appreciated.
After debating, I decided on Docs To Go at £9.99. For this amount its a universal app and as such I can have it installed on my iPhone as well as my iPad (which is what I have done), so £5 for to have it on each device is good value I feel. Quick Office on the other hand would have cost £8.99 for the iPad version and £5.99 for the iPhone version a total of almost £15, which is quite a bit more than I paid for Docs To Go.
Upto now, I find Docs To Go does everything I want from it, with regards to editing, reading, writing my Excel files. I tried transferring a Microsoft Windows Notepad text document over to the iPad/iPhone, I was able to read this and also add additional text/words to it and save it too. I do use text documents sometimes because if I want to add them onto a friend's computer for example, I know that they will be able to read them because with them having a Windows PC and also my friend does not have the Microsoft Office program on their PC.
The transferring of files from the computer to the iPhone/iPad is done via a free download of the Docs To Go desktop software program (which is both PC and Mac) compatible). You first need to go into the Docs To Go app and select 'ADD DESKTOP'. This then allows you to add a device to the Docs To Go desktop program thus enabling transfer. You are shown a pin number on the screen which you enter into the Docs To Go app, this procedure only needs to be done once.
The Docs To Go desktop program creates a folder during installation, where all the files etc are stored that are transferred/going to be transferred over are kept.
Some people might think needing to use a program to transfer files over is a bit of a nuisance, when other similar programs allow transfer via a web browser. Personally I find that those programs, the transfer is a bit cumbersome and can be a bit slow. I find the transfer via the Docs To Go desktop program is a lot easier and faster than using the web browser. The only downside I can see with needing to use the Docs To Go desktop program is that.. If I am at a friend's house and want to transfer something on to my iPhone/iPad. My friend would need to install the program, but saying that, its a very small program and its not a big deal having to install it. If they didn't want to install it, then there is either emailing the file or transferring the file to my Dropbox account. I forgot to mention that Docs To Go supports cloud/online storage such as Dropbox, GoogleDocs as well as others.
Once the above is done, you switch the wifi on, load the Docs To Go app, load the Docs To Go desktop program. You then just drag and drop the folders etc that you are wanting transferred over into the The Docs To Go desktop program, then you click on the circular arrow button and they are then transferred over onto the iPhone/iPad.
Once on the iPhone/iPad, you can view them, add additional information, when you make any changes you can press the circular arrow symbol (bottom left of the Docs To Go app) on the Docs To Go app and the changes are then synced back to the same file that is stored on the computer, so its very easy to keep everything in sync and up to date.
It is possible whilst using a Microsoft Word document to have a word count, you just touch the symbol at the bottom right of the Docs To Go app and choose Word Count from the drop down menu. I have heard a few people in some reviews saying that 'Docs To Go doesn't have a word count', when indeed it does.
One surprise is that Docs To Go, does not have a spell checker, but hopefully during later updates, the feature might be added. I sent my feedback to Docs To Go requesting this feature on future releases. I expect that there will be many other people who have requested this feature too.
I just thought I would share my experience with using Docs To Go.
Thanks again everyone for the help, it was much appreciated

Free app for Microsoft Word documents?

Is there a free app that will allow me to upload and view Microsoft Word documents. Ability to work on these documents would be great, but it is not necessary. Thanks!

Hi hsjfaar,
Actually, you can view Microsoft Word documents, without using any additional application. All you need to have them attached to an e-mail and check out those attachments in Mail app.
In addition, you can choose to use this Lite version of an iPhone/iPod Touch application. Click [here|http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=2941508 96&mt=8].
Hope this helps!

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

How can I restore my Microsoft Word Documents which became Unix Executable Files after my Macbook Pro Crashed?

After my MacBook Pro suddenly crashed, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad attempt to save the files. According to them, they were successful in doing so and put all of the saved files in a folder on my desktop which they labeled "Backup". The problem is, all of the files are in a Unix Executable format. When you double click on any of them, they pull up the terminal and that's it. After researching the issue and trying to grasp what was going on, I learned that you can open these files in Text Edit and sometimes find the file extension (.png .jpeg .amr .qt) that belongs at the end of the filename in order for it to be pulled up. In doing this, I had some success restoring some photos, audio files, and videos. However, no luck at all in restoring any of my Microsoft Word documents or even finding out which Unix Executables are Word documents. I've even tried to add .docx to various files just to see if I would luck out. Nope . Any help would be SO SO greatly appreciated!!!

Just to make sure, your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements?
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Yes, Lion does require that you have Snow Leopard installed so you have access to the Mac App Store.
And you do need to be running v10.6.8 in order to upgrade to Lion > http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
When you verified the startup disk using Disk Utility, what were the results?
Wouldn't hurt to do that again. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, boot from your install disk to make repairs > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
While you have the DU window open, check Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there is a minimum of 15% free disk space.
