This is generally a pain for anybody who currently has a workflow that includes grouping items together in Folders. It’s kept isolated inside Pages apps (you can, share files, of course). One side effect of this is that you don’t store Pages documents inside a folder with other files, like images, charts, PDFs, text notes, and so on. Instead, they are stored locally in the app, and then synced to the cloud. Documents are not stored globally on the iPad (because iOS has no equivalent of the Finder). And now that it’s available on iPhone as well as iPad you don’t even need to own an iPad to use it.ĭocuments In The Cloud enables you to open the same document, using the same app, on different devices. If you spend a lot of time working with Word documents with other people then this app will prove to be invaluable. You can now join in with them on the iPad. But if you work in an office with people sharing Microsoft Office you’ll breathe a sigh of relief. For our money Pages creates better-looking documents, and Google Docs is a faster environment for collaboration. If you work alone, or with forward-thinking people, then other options offer the same functionality for a better price. Much depends on your day-to-day working existence. Whether you really need Word on your iPad is yet another thing entirely.
MS WORD FOR MAC PRICE FREE
Whether it’s £5.99 per month good is, of course, another matter – we think the free version is enough for most people. Microsoft has done a superb job though, and Word for iPad is a very good recreation of the desktop app. Pages doesn’t import Word tables and charts correctly, Word costs £5.99 per month (or £59.99 per year) for premium.
