Can I put Microsoft Word on my iPad?

I run Microsoft Word for Mac and wonder if I can either purchase it or transfer it to my iPad? If I cannot use Microsoft Word on my iPad is there another word processing program that is compatible?
Thanks in advance.

I'm curious, would you provide another definition of "computer," because your second sentence is recursive.
His post contained some questionable grammar, as does yours. Such things sometimes go by the boards when you find yourself working on large numbers of submissions.
Assuming your question is more along the lines of, "In which ways is the iPad not a computer?", then the primary difference to me is the absence of any accessible directory structure and an associated file handling system. Add such things as limited I/O options, limited ability to expand or modify the system, severe restrictions on when and how data can be moved around, and so on and so forth. For those reasons, among others, I don't view the iPad as a computer.

    Can I view Microsoft word on my iPad?

    You can view Word documents as email attachments on the iPad, but if you want to save and edit Word files you need a compatible app for Word files ..... Pages, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and others are available in the app store that you can check out and see which best suits your needs.

    You can't use Microsoft Word on the iPad because of the different operating system but you can have a look at the following apps.

    You cannot, as Microsoft Word is made for computers, not tablets. You have two main choices if you want to create documents:
    1. Buy Pages in the App Store, does the same job but is made by Apple and not as good.
    2. If you have Office 365, there's an Office app for iPhone, but can also run on iPad.
    There are far more choices than those two.

  • Can i get microsoft word on my ipad?

    I really need it for my school work. And also if its free that would be great. :)

    I use Pages on my iPad. It reads Word docs and can convert its files to Word doc when you share them back to your computer or email them to someone.ages cannot make all the possible formatting that Word does but Pages is a pretty good app. It also works with iCloud so Pages docs I have on my iPad are also always available on my iPhone. Make a change in one place and it show up on the other device.

  • Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Another one that just opened up yesterday is OnLive. Both OnLive and CloudOn are cloud-based - you're accessing a server to operate Windows programs and files remotely. There are drawback to it, compared to a full program on the iPad (storing your files remotely, requiring strong and constant internet connection), but since they are both free for now (OnLive will offer pay plans for more storage and features, I imagine CloudOn will do something similar) it can't hurt to try them. I'm downloading both and will give them a whirl.
    I'm also hoping the rumors that MS is working on iPad versions of Office is true, although I imagine that just like the iWorks programs they'll have less features than the full versions.

  • Can I put Microsoft Internet explorer on my ipad mini?

    Can I put Microsoft Internet explorer on my ipad mini ?

    No. Microsoft Internet Explorer runs on Windows based devices, There is no version for Apple Devices.
    The iPad comes with Safari as its default browser.
    There are also alternative browsers in the App Store liike Chrome, Opera among many others.
    Perhaps one of those may work for you.

  • TS1702 how do i use microsoft word on my ipad? i cannot use flash on it as well neither do i use it with projector for presentation.

    how can i use microsoft office on my ipad? i can't also use flash to copy and transfer documents into it and neither could i use it with a projector for presentation.

    You can't use MS Office on the iPad as Microsoft haven't made app versions of their programs (you can only use apps that are in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad), but there are apps that support word, excel and powerpoint documents. The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

  • HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

    how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

    Not really.
    You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
    Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
    This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
    As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

    There is no Microsoft Word for the iPad. You can use 3rd party suites (I use Documents to Go, other popular ones are QuickOffice and Office squared) or the Apple WP app (Pages has an iOS version).
