most full featured word processor? (table editing, google docs) and webdav on the ipad

Hi All,

So I have had a frustrating time trying to add rows to a table in a word processing document on Google Docs. Are there any word processors that support this? Quickoffice and Documents to Go do not as of this writing. (May 26th, 2011.) at least not that I can determine.

Does Office2HD support this feature? Do any of the word processors?

My current thoughts/what Apple needs to do/

Currently I am thinking about buying Pages and then using Goodreader to open the file in pages, and then saving the pages document to idisk/webdav and then moving it to google docs from idisk/webdav using Goodreader (though it appears you can use Readdledocs too.)

According to the makers of Docsportal, if Pages supported Open With, I could Open With Docsportal and it would be uploaded. Alternatively, Docsportal could simply add idisk or webdav support, but I can understand why they are waiting for Apple to get their act together.

Currently, I have discovered that Quickoffice does support mounting quickoffice as a drive as does goodreader. Docs2Go does not support this feature. This is a nice way to get files in and out. The Mac will support WebDAV for the Mac filesystem as of Lion allowing programs like goodreader or readdledocs to connect to it.

I believe that you're expecting too much for a tablet. You might wish to consider a MBA.

At least for documents created and edited in iPad Pages AND for documents created in MS Word and edited in Pad Pages, additing rows is very simple.

I viewed the Office2HD Help file and it seems to support table creation.

I will post back once I am able to edit a table.

Office2HD as mentioned elsewhere in this forum supports Google Docs.

It does also support WebDAV (mounting as an external drive.) The help file mentions that it now allows you to navigate using the cursor or arrow keys.
