Editing a Word document from Dropbox on iPad.  How?

I Have saved a Word document into Dropbox on my laptop. 
I can open it in my ipad2 but cannot edit it.
i Have Docs and Word on the iPad but they will not open a document in Dropbox.
tried Google but.
WHat hat do I need to do?
thank you

After I open the document in DropBox, there are two ways to send the file to Word. I can tap on the action icon in the upper right and use the Open In option, (you may have to swipe to get the the App icon on the bottom of that window)  or I can tap on the edit icon in the lower right corner of the document and the option to open in Word appears.
The app icon that I am referring to looks just like the App Store icon, but it appears in grey in the open in window.

  • Edit a word document from a JSP page

    hi all,
    i would like to know if it is possible to edit a Word document from a JSP page (without uploading it).
    thanks.

    Technically no. But what you can do is output a word document to the browser with the contenttype "application/msword" and if word is installed it will be opened inside the browser.

  • Create/Edit Word documents from Form 6 in the web

    How can I create/edit Microsoft Word documents from a form running under IAS.
    In client/server I can do it using OLE2.

    On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
    If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.

  • Transfer word documents from Lumia 520 to mac?

    Is there an app to transfer word documents composed on the lumia 520 in office to mac?
    I only see apps for enabling photo/video and music transfers from 520 to mac.
    I've been to the mac app store and don't see an app to transfer word documents from windows phone to mac.

    You don't transfer documents to the cloud on iPad.  The cloud is for backups.  It's not for document storage. There are however, apps you can use like Dropbox, which are cloud servers, you can use to accomplish this.  You set up Dropbox, the free app on your iPad.  Then you download Dropbox to your computer.  You get 2GB free storage, but if you need more, you can buy it. 

  • What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad2

    What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad 2?

    You first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - the iPad doesn't have a file structure like a 'normal' computer, and every file/document needs to be associated with an app. If you don't have such an app then options include Apple's Pages app and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD. How you then get the documents on the iPad will depend upon the app that you have/get as different apps may use different methods e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • How do I get documents from mac to iPad

    How do I get documents from Mac to iPad?

    If you just have a few that you want to view, you can e-mail them to yourself and use the viewer in the mail app to view them.
    If you have several or want to save them on the iPad or edit them then you'll need an app. Apple has iPad versions of Pages, numbers and keynote that should sync between your mac and iPad.

  • HP Laserjet PRO MFP125nw doesn't print Microsoft Word documents from PC

    Hello.
    I've recently bought a brand new HP Laserjet PRO MFP125nw printer. The functions seemed really nice and the price was acceptable. I've brought it to my home, installed it following the manual, connected it to Wi-Fi etc. It generally works fairly well. PDF files are printed perfectly well, the scaning function works and it's generally a nice piece of technology.
    The only problem is that it just doesn't want to pring Microsoft Word documents from my PC. It prints it perfectly when I try to print .docx from my smartphone using the app, but it doesn't respond when I try doing it from the PC.
    My Office version is 2007 Enterprise. Do you have any idea what I should do?
    Thank you in advance

    Thank you a lot for a quick reply, Cbert. It's fantastic to see HP actually reading their forums and trying to help!
    I'll try plugging it into the wall and directly to the PC with a USB, we'll see if it works out.
    About Word, i've already tried reinstalling Word, even installed a 2003 version to check if it works with that. Well it doesn't. And as i've written before, I tried turning some .docx files to .pdf using a converter, but it still doesn't print them.
    Anyway, i'll try the first two points and keep you updated, thanks!
