Absolutely BAD please read this before downloading

Ok. So, I used to love Word because I can make stories, and do stuff at school like essays and stuff. One day while I was at my home, my computer died while I was on Word. So then I got my sisters computer and then logged in in my account then went to word. When I went to Word, I saw all my work and essays there! I continued using her computer, but then, IT DIED TOO 😡! So then, I got on my tablet (lol I keep have to switch) and got Word on the App Store. When I logged in my account, I saw my essays, and my sisters essays. It’s like our work connected in one same account. I thought it was probably because it went on my sisters computer. Then I realized that it really didn’t matter. So I went to finish my stories and essays, but it said “You don’t have permission to edit this.” But I SHOULD! That was my account. So I needed to see if my sisters account works, but mine doesn’t. I was right! Her’s worked, but mine didn’t. I couldn’t finish or edit my stuff. It’s like we switched accounts. When I tried 1 last time to get in, it said it needed my password. I put my password in, then it was loading, but then… IT KICKED ME OUT!!! 😣😡😭 please fix this. I can go also go on my computer when it’s charged, but you just need to fix that

-Girl who is mad



It’s Word, man.

Great app. Business and academic apps like this are sometimes harder to navigate on iPads or smart devices because you can’t see all the icons like you would on a laptop screen, and the layout is a little different, but it still does mostly everything you’d need for work or school. There are certain things that you can’t do unless you pay and upgrade to premium, like getting unlimited text colors, but that’s pretty much what you get with every app these days. The app still lets you be cheap and get away with making word documents without premium if you don’t want all the bells and whistles included, and it’s still functional, so I don’t personally mind not having premium. You can get by without it if you don’t want to spend the extra money-shoutout to all the broke college students out there and all the kids whose parents won’t let them upgrade- but if you’re willing/have the means to pay, hats off to ya. All in all, it serves its purpose and does what it’s supposed to, it’s not glitchy, and it’s pretty easy to use. I like it. So, that’s my two cents in the subject. Try it out, see what you think, and you can always delete it I guess. :)



Review of Microsoft word

Well I use Microsoft word at work, the mobile version is vastly inferior. If it were free, I probably couldn’t complain. But, if you want to get the capability of redlining documents and other important work-related actions, you have to purchase the subscription. This is where the trouble begins. Microsoft support is terrible. Several times a year the program won’t work and tells me I need a subscription. I’ve spent hours on the phone with Microsoft since I first purchased this program. There’s some sort of company disconnect between their accounting department and mobile services. This needs to be fixed.

Regarding the applications performance, at best it’s OK. It tends to be slow, saving a document while you were working on it is not as straightforward as it should be, and if you want to dictate, you better proofread twice. Many of the desired editing features are not available in this mobile application. Formatting is next to impossible and many many other features are not available. While I don’t think you can expect 100% duplication, iPad cost more than most PCs, have ample memory, and should be capable of handling all of the commands necessary to do a competent job of preparing a word document. And you should not have to have an external keyboard with your iPad to perform the tasks. Bottom line, The program is livable, but not particularly likable.

Microsoft Word on iPad

Whether we like it or not, Microsoft’s Office suite of apps is going to work its way into most of our lives at some point or another. Maybe you are forced to use it for work, or maybe you just enjoy using it, but either way, it’s going to come up. Say what you will about the Office 365 transition, but this has made the Office suite better in almost every regard, all while getting it onto more platforms than ever before.

Today we’re going to look at one pillar of the Office 365 package, Microsoft Word. More specifically, let’s look at the iPad version to see how it compares to other versions of Word in 2019, as well as how well it plays with iOS in general.

Curated List of Must-Have Apps

We spend an inordinate amount of time sorting through hundreds of apps to find the very best. Our team here at The Sweet Setup put together a short list of our must-have, most-used apps in 2022.

Welcome to Word on the iPad

Microsoft Word for the iPad is a well-made, high-quality word processing app that will likely be all most people need to get their Office-related work done from their favorite tablet. As we’ll talk about more later, this is not a carbon copy of the desktop app, but it is a feature-rich app that lets you do quite a bit of work in Word documents you create alone or are using to collaborate with others.

Word on iPad main screen

That said, this is more true if you are willing to lock yourself into Microsoft’s ecosystem. For example, the collaboration and auto-save functions that make the app truly useful only work if you are also storing your documents in OneDrive. If you are using iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. for syncing your files between devices, then these features poof away. There are a non-trivial number of people who will see this as a deal-breaker, and there is no shortage of low reviews on the App Store for just these reasons. If you plan on using Word for the iPad, I highly suggest you also commit to keeping your documents in OneDrive so you get the best possible experience.

Another thing to note up front is that the app is a free download and will let you view Word documents without paying a dime, but if you want to edit or create documents, you must be an Office 365 subscriber. These plans start at $5.99/month for individuals and come with access to all the main Office apps and 1TB of OneDrive storage, so it’s a pretty good deal, but again, some people will not want another subscription, so this could be a turn off as well.

As a brief aside, Microsoft has some weird device size factors that they use to offer editing for free to users on iPads smaller than 10 inches. So if you have a standard iPad or iPad Mini, then you get editing functions for free. Currently, only iPad Pro users strictly need an Office 365 subscription to access full functionality.

If you’re willing to jump through these hoops, Word for the iPad is a generally pleasant experience. As someone who usually writes for the web, Word is not usually my go-to writing app, but this article has been written entirely in Word for the iPad and it has been a pretty enjoyable experience. I still wouldn’t recommend it for people writing for the web, but I could totally see how this is an experience people would want for longer form writing or creating printable documents they want to share with others.

This will be either a positive or negative thing depending on who you ask, but one of the things that I personally enjoy about Word for the iPad is that it feels like a lot of the cruft you get from the desktop app has been either hidden from view or removed entirely. One of the things that has made a lot of people dislike Word over the years is the obscene number of features the app offers. As we’ll talk about in the next section, not everything has made the transition over to the iPad, but most of the core functionality is here and is presented in a less overwhelming way.

Fonts menu in Word for iPad

Fonts: You can of course do basic things like format text, and Microsoft kindly included all of the fonts they bundle with the desktop apps here too, so the odds are low of you getting the dreaded “resolve fonts?” dialog box. You can see these from the font menu and each font is a quick download away. Of note, none of the system iOS fonts are visible here, so fonts like Helvetica and Avenir are nowhere to be found. Neither are any custom fonts you’ve installed. This could be a big deal for those who have standardized document formats for work that use custom fonts. Those documents simply are not going to work well on the iPad version of Word. (Although we expect a lot of these hiccups will go away once iOS 13 and iPadOS launch is custom font support.)

Formatting: Beyond text formatting, you can add all the normal elements like tables, images, shapes, text boxes, formatted math equations, comments, and headers/footnotes. These all work okay, which is to say they work as well as they do on the desktop. Placing images inline is more difficult than in an app like Pages, but if you understand Word’s logic then you can make it work.

Drawing Mode in Word for iPad

Drawing Mode: And then there is drawing mode, which lets you draw on your document and is really built around the Apple Pencil. It’s such expected behavior, in fact, that you can’t use the Apple Pencil to do anything but draw in your documents. You can’t use it to scroll around the document, although it can be used to interact with the user interface. I’m not a big fan of this as I like to use the Apple Pencil for tons of non-drawing things on the iPad, but Word is simply not built to do this. As soon as you touch inside a document with the Pencil, it switches over to drawing mode. Ideally, the app would make you tap into drawing mode before it would intercept all your Pencil inputs as drawing, but there is no way to set this behavior.

Data Loss: Finally, I never experienced this in a few weeks using the app pretty heavily, but most of the one-star reviews on the App Store reference the app not saving their changes in non-OneDrive services and then losing their changes with no way to recover them. Data loss is a really bad problem, and this happening even once could very reasonably make you rage-quit the app altogether. It still looks like a small minority of users who have had this happen, but there were enough that it felt important to at least mention it here.

Word as a Good iOS Citizen

While it’s great that companies like Microsoft and Google are bringing their full app suites to iOS, they don’t always do much work to make sure their apps are good citizens of the platform. Google is notorious for this, sometimes taking a year or more to have their productivity apps take advantage of standard iOS functionality. Microsoft is doing a bit better here, but as mentioned already, they really intend for you to do things the Microsoft way, not necessarily the iOS way.

Multitasking, Drag & Drop, and More: On the positive side, Word supports things like multitasking and the new iPad Pro screen sizes. You can use Word in a thin window on the side of your iPad or make it use the full 12.9 inches of the biggest iPad Pro and it works well at any size. It also supports drag-and-drop which was introduced in iOS 11. You can quite easily drag photos from Photos into a document just as you’d expect it to work.

Files Integration in Word for iPad

Files Integration: Another nice element is that Word interacts with the native Files interface, so if you have a document saved to iCloud but want to open it in Word, it is easy to do. Similarly, all Office documents in the Files app are configured to open in their respective Office apps.

Word as a Poor iOS Citizen

Poor Files Integration: On the more negative side, that Files integration is a little surface-level, as you can open documents from any Files-integrated service, but you need to manually update the file from Word, as Word will not update the document in-line like most other writing apps allow.

This is going to make the experience drastically different for those using OneDrive and those using something like Dropbox for document storage. Again, this app is better the more you are willing to embrace the full Microsoft experience.

List of keyboard shortcuts available in Word for iPad

Keyboard Shortcuts: Another limitation is in regards to keyboard support. Keyboard shortcuts in desktop apps can make you feel like a productivity god, and recently these have become more prominent and expected on the iPad. Apps like Things 3 have set a high bar for what you can do from a keyboard on the iPad, and Word falls incredibly short here. You can basically just cut/copy/paste and do basic text formatting like bolding or italicizing. I’m sure this will be enough for some, but if this is a professional app that’s meant to make its users get work done quickly, it doesn’t do nearly enough.

How Word for iPad Differs from the Desktop Versions

Microsoft has a complex history with Word on non-Windows devices. They have usually reserved the best version of the app to Windows, with the Mac version lagging years behind. And on some other occasions they have oddly had the Mac version more up to date than their Windows version. It had always been a weird dance to see which version was best, as it seemed like the two versions were made by totally different teams who shared a design document, but never spoke to each other.

Thankfully, in recent years Microsoft has gotten better here, all the while adding iOS, Android, and web-based versions of the apps to their arsenal, but they’re still not totally there. All of the core Word functionality can be found in each of these apps, including the iPad, but some things are still left behind. For example, real-time collaboration inside documents wasn’t introduced until early 2018 on the iPad, but was available on Windows, macOS, and the web for at least a year before.

And experienced Word users will also notice the UI is pared down the moment they launch the app.

Differences between Word on macOS and iOS

Streamlined UI: The iPad has a much more streamlined UI, which will make some people happy and make other people find this app to be totally useless. Where you land on that spectrum is entirely based on how much power you demand from your word processor. Personally, I find the iPad version to look better and provide more than enough functionality, but the missing features will surely make Word on the iPad a harder sell for others.

Keyboard Shortcuts: One key difference that power users will notice pretty quickly is that there are very few keyboard shortcuts. Like with the general feature set, most of the essentials are here, but that’s far from everything. You can do tons from the keyboard in Office for Windows/macOS, but all of the medium to enhanced functionality on the iPad happens by tapping around the on-screen interface.

Export options in Word for iPad

Export Options: On another front, the export options are stripped down quite a bit compared to the desktop apps. Effectively, you should export everything as a native Word document (.docx) and the only other option is an OpenDocument (.odf) text file. No HTML, epub, or .rtf export options here, so if you’re using Word to create documents like those, then you’re either going to need to find another app or open the document on your Mac later to export it to what you need. Interestingly, you can export as a PDF, but that’s found in the Share menu under the Send a Copy option. Also, if you choose to share the document with another random app, it will convert it to a PDF first before exporting. It’s odd these are separated out, but at least PDF is an option.

Text Styles: One relatively shocking limitation is that you can not edit the text styles in the app. These are pretty essential elements of even the simplest documents and being unable to change what a heading or paragraph should look like is a major limitation. Sure, they ship tons of fonts with the app, but using any of those means saying goodbye to any auto-formatting.

Macro and Plugin Functionality: And finally there are all of the advanced macro and plugin functionality that the desktop apps can tap into, but the iPad version has none of this. So if you use something like Grammerly or DocuSign in Word on the desktop, then you’re going to have to learn to live without those on the iPad. There is a small list of “add-ins” you can install from the Insert tab of the app, but this is a pretty short list and does not include many of the most popular desktop plugins.

If you are looking for a “no compromises” version of Microsoft Word, then the iPad version simply isn’t that. This is probably a case where it has 80% of the desktop app’s functionality, and that covers the use cases for 90% of users, but as is always the case with things like this, if something you rely on falls in that 20% of missing functionality, then you’re going to feel like this is a lesser product. If nothing I’ve mentioned so far makes you feel like you’re missing out, then this is going to be a very clean, fast, and enjoyable version of Word for you.

Alternatives

There are two main alternatives to Word for the iPad, and if you are able to use something else they might be worth a look.

Apple Pages is Apple’s first-party Word alternative and it’s what I personally use for this sort of word processing. It’s free and, of course, is always updated to support the latest iOS features basically as soon as they’re available. It also does a really great job with integrating things like images and shapes into documents in a useful and intuitive way. The biggest disadvantage is that almost no one uses Pages in a professional setting, so anything you make in Pages is going to have to be saved as a PDF or Word doc before sharing with anyone else. Thankfully, Pages has some solid export options to make this useful.

Google Docs is the other main player here and their service is pretty solid, but their iPad app is frustratingly hard to use. It’s functional and is much closer than Word to replicating all of the main app’s functionality, but Google Docs goes even further than Microsoft in making their experience a Google-only option. Google Docs has no concept of the Files app and really makes you do everything in the Google ecosystem. On the plus side, it’s also free and has a good number of export options. And unlike Apple Pages, there are quite a few organizations that use Google Docs for real collaboration, so you have a decent chance of just being able to do everything in Docs without needing to export to another format at the end of your project. With iPadOS’s full desktop browser coming, Google Docs inside Safari should alleviate many of the current problems we currently face with the app.

Conclusion

Microsoft Word on the iPad is currently a solid app. It has the core functionality nailed down. Editing documents is as pleasant as it’s been on any version of Word I’ve used in my lifetime. If you use Word for basic- to medium-level work, then there is a good chance that it will work well for you. However, if you are an advanced Word user or rely on some of the customization options present in the desktop apps, then this will likely let you down.

Personally, this seems like the right way to treat a massive app like Word when moving it to a new platform. It’s been five years since Office came to the iPad, and it’s not really a “new” app suite anymore, but they took the core elements of their app and made sure those things were solid right off the bat. They have been adding more functionality over time and most of the new things they have added seem to work pretty well. With the exception of data loss, which again is a big deal if it happens to you, almost none of the popular complaints about this app are with what it does today, but rather about what it doesn’t do. Not everyone will agree here, but I think this is a better place to be than a bloated, messy app that does a ton but doesn’t do a great job at any of it.

Hopefully Microsoft will keep updating the app to get it more feature-complete with the desktop apps. They’ve still got a good ways to go, but even with the current limitations, Word is a very good option for tons of people who need to view, edit, and create documents from their iPad.

Microsoft Word allows you to write, edit, and save documents — whether it’s a shared assignment, a presentation for work, or a personal project. Although it’s most commonly used on a PC or Mac computer, you can also download the app to access files on your iPad.

The Word app is extremely similar to the desktop version, and allows you to create a blank document or start from a template. Additionally, you can quickly view a list of your recent files or shared projects.
