Answer 1

I presume you have already downloaded the free M.S. office apps to use with your 365 subscription?   (Even if you haven't there are several other apps that will read these as well - )
You can get the documents onto your pad several different ways.
1. easiest for a single document is to simply e mail to your self.  In mail, tap the attachement once to cause it to down load.  then touch and hold the attachment until the 'open in ' box pops up, and choose the app you want to se.  The document will be saved with that app.
for a loy of docs, it is easier to use the sharing system in I tunes, at the very bottom of the app tab.  Drag and drop the docs you want to move back and forth.
Or use the clound.  Dropbox works fine.  Get the app in the store.
To send them back out - reverse the process.
