Is there any "real" word processor for iPad?

Pages is fine for doing little posters and stuff, but not so good for real WP work. At first I thought I could just use one of the cloud WPs (google docs, Zoho, etc.), but I had some difficulty getting the keyboard to show up in Google docs.
Now I'm wondering if there is any bona fide WP available for the iPad OS? Does not have to be fancy, just good for letter writing and longer texts.
Thx,

At the moment Pages is the most advanced WP currently available for iPad that can work with doc files. The iPhone version of Quickword is a nice little app but it really doesn't offer more than Pages. I'm betting there will be other decent iPad WPs soon but it doesn't appear to be soon. I haven't heard of any announcements from developers.

    I'm not aware of free apps that will let you work with Word, Excel, etc.  There are however, paid apps, such as Pages and Numbers you can buy that will work for you.

  • Is there any country lock thing for Ipad?

    My friend sent me an Ipad from N.Y. and now it is asking for update. I'm using it with my local carrier SIM. My question is there any chance its cellular will get locked? Or actually this country lock thing exist in Ipad?

    To install the iOS update, you need to connect to wifi, not cellular.

  • Word processor for iPad

    Is there a software or app that is compatible to Microsoft office?
    It sure beats lugging a laptop if ther is one.

    I think too that it's important to consider what the term "compatibility" really means...My experience, which honestly is limited to Quick Office Pro, is that it's fine for viewing and doing minor editing of spreadsheets,  Word documents and Power Point stuff...but someone would be pretty disappointed if they bought the app thinking they could easily create complex spreadsheets or do heavy duty editing and creation of other Office document types.  The iPad is oustanding at what it does, but data entry at the level  required for say, complicated spreadsheet or presentation creation is still a challenge.  Saving documents from mail to Quick Office is also a bit clunky.  It's great for opening and looking at documents and doing minor editing, but I think a full blown, heavy duty spreadsheet, presentation and word processing app is a ways off.  It's much much better than having no capability..but it is limited.....

  • I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

    Is there any difference in packaging of IPAD AIR for INDIA and other countries?
    because i didn't get any sim eject tool in IPAD AIR box.

    I believe it does vary depending on country.  A paper clip works equally well, so I wouldn't get too upset.

  • Is there any fix or workarounds for flash to run on an iPad?

    Is there any fix or workarounds for flash to run on an iPad, I have an interface that works on a USB and now wants to use dropbox to distrubute the interface. Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    It's worth looking at Puffin Browser (http://www.puffinbrowser.com) - it runs Flash Player 11.2 in the cloud, so you can access Flash through your iPhone or iPad.
    Hopefully they'll update their FP soon

  • Is there any student/educational discounts for the new iPad?

    Is there any student/educational discounts for the new iPad?

    Not from Apple for direct purchase. Schools can buy them in bulk for a discount (10% off when buying ten, I think).

    You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

  • Best option for a word processor for the G3 dual usb running Panther

    More and more I am coming to rely on my G3 for word processing tasks - particularly research notes and a personal journal.
    So far I've tried the simple text editor (quick but poor text on-screen), OpenOffice (being xwindow it's slow to load and slow to update screen) and AppleWorks (good display but no spell checker) -each have problems for me.
    What is the best word processor for the G3 running Panther (or Classic/9 for that matter). I need: Quick to load/run, readable text, automatic word wrap, spell checking and a reasonable path to exchange files with my desktop Linux system.

    AppleWorks does have a spellchecker; it just is not automatic (check-as-you-type).
    In AppleWorks, go to Edit menu > Writing Tools > Check Document Spelling.
    I've never used anything (in a major way) except AppleWorks.
    A couple of options which you haven't mentioned are Pages in _iWork '06_ (or earlier; the current version has left behind G3 processors) and _Microsoft Office for Mac_.
    I'm unsure of how well any of these will integrate with Linux. Open Office may be your best bet there. (I'm just guessing. It seems like common sense to me that Open Office would work with an open OS like Linux.)
    Another application which is creating a buzz and sounds like it could work for you is _Google Docs_. There would certainly be no problem with Linux integration there. It looks like it would be easy sharing all the way around and you shouldn't find any incompatibilities as long as you have a decently up-to-date browser.
    I'm not sure anyone has developed the "perfect" word processor, but there are some good ones out there. Good luck on your quest.

  • Is there any way to connect disabled iPad to network via external software?

    Hello,
    My iPad is disabled because of a Bluetooth mishap (my keyboard in my coat pocket tried to enter my password too many times). So I can't enter my password on the screen. Unfortunately I didn't back up the last few weeks of documents in any way, via either iCloud or syncing. And I just can't erase all the work I've done--it's irreplaceable to me.
    Is there any way to connect the iPad to a WiFi network through external software, maybe using the lightning connector?
    I ask because in iCloud I marked the iPad as Lost (in Find My iPhone), so I may get another chance at entering my password if the iPad can get online to receive the signal. But because it's disabled it won't connect to a network.
    Many thanks for any help!

    Not a big surprise unfortunately...  time to get an iPhone I guess!
    Thanks for the answer Sir!

  • Is there TOC feature in Pages for iPad?

    Is there TOC feature in Pages for iPad?

    I think it not an unreasonable feature request for a word prcessor. I feel that in scaling pages down to the iPad Apple has also made the product a little less attractive for professional usage. For example pages for iPad really should preserve Endnotes created elsewhere, but it does not at present. A shame, but we can hope that in subsequent versions of pages for iPad that support or preservation of advanced word processing features is introduced.

  • Word Processor for Air

    Which word processor would anyone recommend for the Air? Do any support power point?
    Thanks...

    Pages is Apple's own Word Processor for the Mac, and is available in the Mac App Store. Keynote is Apple's presentation application,and is similar to Powerpoint. Apple's entire suite is called iWork and contains Pages, Keynote and Numbers (spreadsheet, similar to MS Excel)
    Microsoft Word is part of the Microsoft Office suite for Mac. Most versions of Office also contain PowerPoint presentation software.
    OpenOffice is a free Office suite, and a pretty darned good one and supports PowerPoint. Download here.
    I have all three suites on my Mac, and I have to say since I've been using Microsoft Office for so long, it happens to be the group of apps I use the most out of the three.
