Best iPad apps for creating and sharing word and spreadsheet documents? X-post from Using iPad

I am about to take a work trip away for a few weeks and will need to create word and spreadsheet documents and share them with my colleagues back in the office. Does anyone have any tips on the best apps to do this? I'm concerned that the iWork apps might be problematic with the .pages and .numbers native formats, given that my colleagues work on ms office in a windows environment. Also, the google docs mobile experience seems to be pretty clunky, so I'm hoping someon out there has the perfect solution! Thanks in anticipation.
(X-post from Using iPad, but thought I might get some useful responses here.)

There is no perfect solution, especially for those who need to create more complex documents (tables, etc.) and spreadsheets. If your files are simple Quickoffice will do the job; you can set up a shared dropbox for those at the home base to access and interact with it directly through the app. For heavy duty lifting you may want to consider accessing your work desktop remotely using Splashtop, Logmein, gotomypc app, etc...

I use documents to go and am pleased with it. and the premium version also supports cloud storage and syncing.

Best CC App for creating "animated" menu?

Picture this on the home page of a website: a rectangular frame (size irrelevant for this question), empty inside, every 2 or 3 seconds a new graphic/slide appears (transitions) inside the frame, each has text describing a page in the site; when you click on one of the graphics/slides when it appears, it takes you to that page.
I'm calling this an animated site menu. (You can call it whatever you like.) (Not being snarky. Just saying there could be different, better terminology.)
I'm confident that something - some app in Adobe Creative Cloud - will allow me to create a menu like this and then embed it in a web page. This webpage will have other things, like the header graphic, so this menu won't be alone on the page.
Flash? Edge Animate? Something!! I subscribe to the whole ACC shebang.
I'm a WYSIWYG type of person, so I don't know code, and I don't know javascript.
I haven't used a lot of the ACC apps, which is probably why I can't answer this question myself. But if someone can tell me which app (if there is one) will let me create this menu and then embed it in a web page I'd be forever grateful.
Of course you can ask more questions. I know I've probably not described my project/outcome as clearly as I could have, but it's early, or late depending on how you look at it. (It's 6 am and I've been up all night.)
Here's the "frame." The white space within the orange rectangle will be a sort of slideshow. Graphics/slides will change every 3 seconds or so. The frame will never change.

You can create a slideshow in Edge Animate and put markers and actions on the relevant sections, then size it to fit within your imaginary frame. Otherwise I'm sure there's tons of "preview slideshow with page jump" jQuery widgets out there that can easily be integrated into Muse, Dreamweaver and so on.

Is pages the best app for creating wedding programs, or would you reccomend something free or cheaper?

As the question is asked three times, I guess that you wish to marry three times.
From my point of view, the best app to do this or that is the one with which we are comfortable.

You need to look at the EULA for each app.
There is the VPP where you get a discount for some educational app with a minimum purchase.

My grandson shares my Ipad and I want to give him a monthly allowance on I tunes to buy his own Apps/games etc. If I set up a separate account for him on I Tunes, can he then access this from my Ipad to buy his own stuff ? If so, how do I do it ?

No, that is not possible. An iPad can only be linked to one iTunes account at a time. For this you should have to reinstall the iPad every time you allow him and reinstall when you get it back. Sorry, but the iPad was designed as a personal device from the ground up and it does not support any kind of multiple users/ multiple accounts.
You can setup your iPad with Parental controls to prevent him from doing any app or in-app purchases and to hide any adult-only content.

What's the best thesaurus app for iPhone 4S?

I'm looking for the best thesaurus app for my new iPhone 4S.
The best I've seen listed to so far is the Oxford English version for $24.99 Canadian. All the rest are Roget II or those A-Z thesauri which I've never liked.
I prefer the Roger's International Thesaurus (remember in school that yellow paperback thesaurus with the kangaroo on the front?) which has all the words divided by subject in the front, and all the words listed alphabetically in the back, subdivided by meaning, and have a number listed as to where it is in the front (ie GREEN noun greenness 44.1 verdigris 44.3 lawn 310.7 adjective inexperienced 414.17 new 841.7 etc etc etc).
I would like to find an app version of that (320,000 words and phrases in 1072 categories according to the back of the book) or the closest version.
Is there such a thing or is the Oxford English version the closest I will come to it? I consider this one of the most important apps I will put on my phone. Even more important than Facebook. haha

depends
some people dock to
sync with their computer
some to charge
some to use audio out
the answer to your question really comes down to what you are trying to do

Plug-in or app for creating slo-mo?

Last year I came across a bunch of YouTube clips demonstrating a plug-in or app for creating slow motion from regularly shot material - 24-30 fps. The plug-in or app was able to someone how extrapolate all the missing frames to get quite a spectacular slo-mo effect. I've lost the URL I thought I had so carefully saved.
I'm receiving a whole bunch of footage I have to edit into a film. The original shooting is erratic, sometimes good, sometimes quite unprofessional. I need to be able to manipulate the speed of the shots, slow them down or speed them up. The plug-in or app I remember would have been perfect.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Any suggestions would be most appreciated...
Thank you,
Ben

Thank you guys, most helpful.
Did I say 'spectacular'? I'd settle for modestly elegant, or even competent. You are absolutely right David B. I'm not looking to improve things like really bad exposure, noise, etc. But a pan that's two fast for the tempo of a sequence? ... a little slowing, a bit of 'smoothcam' and suddenly the shot looks 'professional' instead of amateur. I just did a couple of tests using only the speed control in the motion tab of FCP and was pleasantly surprised. Is the 'speed' control in the motion tab any different than the 'Change Speed' function (Command J)?
This is a feature film and they plan on a theatrical release. So something like Twixtor might be the answer for the best quality we can generate, given the limitations of the original media. But...
David H, if the only thing I'm really needing is very clean slow-mo (given the limitations of the original media), but not super super slow-mo, would the Optical Flow in Motion give me more-or-less the same quality as Twixtor? That would be pleasant.
All ears,
Ben

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Bob

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

Anyone having trouble with iPad app for Comcast?

Anyone having trouble with iPad app for Comcast?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
