Hello Millie_4,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! We understand you are experiencing some issues with using your iPad Pro when typing. We are happy to help.
To start, we'd like to know a bit more information about the behavior you are seeing on the iPad and the app being used. Which app are you using when you see this behavior happen, or does it happen in every app you use? For example, you mentioned you are typing in Word when you experience these delays, is this Word app a 3rd party app that was installed on the iPad?
What happens if you open the Notes app and type in there, do you notice the same delay there? Or if you open Safari and type inside of Safari, do you notice those issues?
Keep us updated on how it goes, we are here for you!
Best Regards.
