Excel & Word on Ipad

Hi there i am just about to receive my first ever Ipad & just working out what apps i need etc.
My question is would i need to download a app in order to open & edit Excel & Word files or will the Ipad automatically open them? I do currently use MobileMe where i have a fair few Excel Files which i may need to edit on the go etc. If i do need an app to open these files do Excel & Word have their own apps like Pages & Numbers or if not what is the best app out there where i can open & edit office files.
Would also need to open PDF's so same question as above will the Ipad open them if not what app is required.
Regards
Andy

These files will open and can be viewed on the iPad as mail attachments. You do not need a third party app to open and view them. From the Apple iPad technical specs web site...
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
Here is the link to the site.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
However, you will need apps to edit these files as they can not be edited with any preinstalled apps that are on the iPad when you buy it. You mentioned Pages and Numbers which are available for the iPad and there others as well in the App Store. Documents to Go will open and edit the complete MS Office suite. iAnnotate and others available for pdf files. Apple's own iBooks will open and save pdf files and iBooks is free in the App Store.
There are a variety of apps that will open, edit and save these files. Google can be your friend right now before your iPad arrives so start searching!

  • Looking for MS Excel & Word compatible iPad Apps

    I'm looking for iPad apps for Excel and Word that I can transfer to my iMac and work on using MS Office.  Any recommendations?

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Saving excel & word docs onto ipad

    i have downloaded smart office 2 onto my ipad about 2 months ago, for some reason i can no longer save excel & word documents onto my ipad anymore.
    before i would hold finger on attchment and it would give me option to open document with smart office and i could save the document, now when i hold finger on attachment it just gives me the email icon option thats all. the attachment icon would appear as a word or excel document on the email, it no longer appears that way. what could be the problem

    Try going into Dropbox and tapping on the file. You should see what looks like a box with an up arrow on it. Tap that icon, then choose Open In... and Pages should be a choice.
    On a Mac or a PC, you can save things in 1 place and have multiple applications access themas needed. On the iPad, you have to store the files in just one place, and, if you wish to move them, you need to go to their current storage spot (in this case, Dropbox) and use the Open In... feature to move it to another app.
    Hopefully that makes sense.

  • Best way to access Excel & Word documents on iPad

    On my iMac I have  a number of EXCEL and WORD documents created with Excel / Word MICROSOFT for MAC 2011.
    I want to access these Word and Excel documents on my iPad.
    I am confused as to what is the best way to do this.    Pages & Numbers with iCloud ........ or ....... CloudOn, the free, cloud based service that lets you run Word and Excel on the ipad???? 
    When we are on holidays I need to VIEW or UPDATE Excel and Word documents on my iPad and then when we get home update my iMac with any changes that I may have made.  
    I do not need to print from my iPad whilst on holidays, only view and update.
    Has anyone had experience with Pages and Numbers on their ipad using documents created with Microsoft for Mac 2011 on their Mac computer.  Does it work well and is it user friendly doing what I want it to do as detailed above?
    Thanks

    Thanks for that info Skydiver119.
    I was hoping that if I had the apps  'PAGES' (for my Word docs) and  'NUMBERS' (for my Excel docs) loaded on my iPad that I would be able to access my documents without having to have internet access.
    I understand that to get them there in the first place I need internet access and then to update back to my iMac when I get back home I would need internet access.
    I am relatively new to iPad & apps etc. so maybe I have misunderstood the concept.  I thought that having the apps loaded onto my ipad, would mean that my documents would be there to access/edit/update when ever I needed to.   I mean of course, as I have already said above, once downloaded either by syncing through iTunes or iCloud to start with. 
    Can you (or anyone else!) please help with this 
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Can i use word in ipad?

    Hi
    I have a friend that wants to buy the ipad, however he wants to know if you can use MS Word in ipad?

    There are no Microsoft Office apps made for the iPad. However, there is the iWork productivity suite, which includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    Pages is a word processor like Word, and it can export to (save as) and open Word file formats. Numbers is like Excel and Keynote is like PowerPoint.

  • Downloaded word for ipad, can't access itunes from my laptop

    I am receiving an error accessing itunes on my laptop stating that the program I downloaded isn't available to download, programs listed is Word and Excel for ipad.
    I did download word and excel for my ipad, but why is it impacting itunes on a different device?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

    using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
    how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
    I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
    Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
    as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.
    I'm in the process of upgrading from forms 6 client/server to 10g developer suite, so this is my try with a web based system.
    Does anyone have any suggestions, or where I should look.

    when report_not_generated then
    show_user_alert('ERROR: Report Not Generated!', null);
    when others then
    v_errorcode := SQLCODE;
    v_errortext := SQLERRM;
    show_user_alert('ERROR : ' || v_errorcode || ' = ' || v_errortext, null);
    end;
    end;

    What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:
    CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "localfilename"');

  • Exchange server damages Word files - cannot be opened on Word for iPad anymore

    Dear all,
    I posted the following problem in the Office for iPad forum and was asked to address this topic here as well. Probably you can help?
    In my office we are using Word 2007 to create ordinary .docx files. When I email such a file to my iPad I cannot open it neither in the Mail.app preview nor in Word for iPad.
    Mail.app tells me its an "Office Open XML word processing document" and Word just tells me the file is damaged. However the files opens just fine in various versions of Word for PC and Mac.
    Does anyone know what is happening here? I bought Office for iPad especially to being able to open the word files I create in my office... :-(
    Additional info:
    I ran the following test:
    I took a .docx file I created on my office PC which was stored on our server and saved it locally to my PC harddrive. I then saved a copy as .doc as well. Then I emailed both files to my office Outlook account AND my iCloud account (with one email).
    BOTH files did NOT open in Word for iPad from my Outlook account (Exchange Server) but BOTH files just opened fine from my iCloud account.
    I then forwarded the email from my Outlook account to my iCloud account and now BOTH files did NOT open on the iPad anymore.
    So it seems that my Outlook account (Exchange server) corrupts the files so they cannot be opened on the iPad anymore, while they can still be opened on a PC or Mac. 
    Do you have any ideas to solve that issue?
    It cannot be that Office for iPad doesnt work in combination with an Exchange Server Outlook Account, can it?
    best regards
    Wolfgang

    Hi,
    I suggest doing following test and returning the results to me.
    1. Please using OWA to open the .docx file on both PC and iPad via your Exchange account.
    If the file can be opened in OWA. I suggest asking ActiveSync Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:

    2. Please verify whether this issue occur on only one user (your Exchange account). If only you have this issue, it should be an issue on your Exchange account or your iPad.
    3. Please try to use other's iPad for test. If the file can be opened on other's iPad, it seems an issue on your iPad.
    Thanks
