I have a legitimate copy f the above and wider can I use this on my new iPad Pro?
I do not use it enough to warrant a 365 subscription but, prefer to use it. I have the codes and disc etc
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular
Signing in to a Microsoft account will not produce any added functionality on 12.9" iPads.
Microsoft has a screen size limitation on features, and any device above 10.5" will require a 365 subscription to access file creation and editing features.
See here: Microsoft Word on the App Store
To create or edit documents, sign in with a free Microsoft account on devices with a screen size of 10.1 inches or smaller.
Without the subscription as said, you will be limited to opening and viewing existing files, but will not be able to edit them or create new ones.
A good compromise I have found, is to use Apple's entirely free Pages, Numbers and Keynote Apps, and then export the files in Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint formats when required.
Hi and thanks!
I ask, because, I have seen text in Mac Rumours, I think, suggesting limited functionality can be gained, by just completing a Microsoft ID, when asked for the 365 subs. Any mileage?
No. iPads cannot run Windows or Mac versions of software.
If you want Microsoft Office on your iPad, you can download the Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook apps for free, but will need a 365 subscription to access any features like creating or editing files in Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Outlook is fully functional without the 365 subscription.
