Word app read only to editable on iPad Hi When I open my Word document in the Word app/Microsoft 365 app on my iPad, it says that it is read-only, the same thing happens on my phone. However, I am able to edit the same document when I open it on my laptop. How do I make the Word document on my iPad editable? Are there any settings? Awaiting for assistance Thank you

Downloads won’t open in Word on ipad I have my Microsoft word opened already on my ipad and I went to my downloads-files to open up some brush templates and practice sheets I found on this girls website for procreate. But I am trying to open the handwriting sheets to practice in word or maybe even notes app if it lets me. But I know word is useful for this but I can’t open any of them. They are greyed out except for the actual file showing them and my resume that I recently edited this morning. I’m not sure why I can’t. They used to open before. And my resume is part of downloads and saved to my iPad now from airdrop but I’m not sure why I can’t click any of them. They are PDF. Please help!

Word document not saving on ipad I am having problems saving a Word document on my iPad. I was revising a long document for a friend. Although I tried saving multiple copies to different locations (iCloud, on the iPad itself, GoogleDocs), when I go to open any of the files, they all come up empty. This is depressing as I spent hours on the doc, and it looks like all is lost. How am I supposed to save these documents, and how can I recover what I worked on?
