Can Word documents be stored in iCloud?
I'm confused. Is iCloud genuine cloud storage, or can I store only documents executed in iWork software?

It is not normal "storage". There is currently no way for you to upload a document, except for Pages, Numbers, Keynote. There are also no sharing options, as there were with MobileMe.
Apps can be made to use iCloud to share data among your devices, contingent on the programmers adding that functionality.
TBH, I find the whole thing a huge letdown, coming from years of MobileMe use where I could store what I wanted, and share it with whom I wished.
I just made an *** of myself. I have an iPad air and just bought 50 GB of iCloud storage.
I ASSumed that since iCloud provided a control panel for my windows 7, and I could upload docs from my iPad to my desktop, that I would be able to drag a file from windows into my cloud.
What an idiot I am.
Do you have a question.
Yes,
Why would Apple provide a crippled control panel that doesn't have the same functionality as the mac version?
That was a rhetorical question—if you can't figure that out, then don't participate. What is this, gradeschool? Again, rhetorical.
I must tell this question gets to the point.

Ask Apple, this is a user forum.
I found that Micrisoft's OneDrive works for storing docs in the cloud. I use the free Word app from iTunes and it saves my doc to OneDrive. It, really, just works.
