How can I save a Word document to my iPad?

You can use Dropbox. They have free cloud storage and a free iPad app. It's the easiest way to share / save documents.

And in many cases view them. I agree. Sounds like what the OP is looking for.

Here is some help with your issue of direspect, google docs can be used on iPad for free I might add, with it you can write word docs and send to emai

And edit all u want.apple has not been able to **** up that function, sorry for a bit of your disrespect function here. I enjoy using google docs as a word processor on a tablet, hope it does not bother u, but apple provides no function in this area, hope that your fantasy world of disrespect one day comes true, but I rather believe that the iPad stock will sink as others have, when next year all the android devices flood the arket and apple is once again wonderin what happenned, please excuse the rude commas, but there is no back key, so can not erase, I work at apple headquarters, if you want to know th truth, but have never been much into cult fashion or taking a drink to kill off all members etc,, please note I have turned off all gps function, so don't try to find me. Ah th period, it can be usefull, now let me update you on the area of disrespect...disrespect is carrying out mass murder in Iraq and Afghanistan and firing phosphorous off of ships into civilian areas and supplying countries with those weeps and I saw the us factory myself, so I don't really give a **** about your myopic veiws of thread disrespect about iPod. And I don't really give **** if this post gets me kicked off of all apple forums, sorry to end with a comma,

No, you don't work at Apple Headquarters. What purpose does it serve to make something like that up? And trust me, NO ONE is trying to find you. Far from it.

Mass murder is not "disrespect". What an idiotic comment. It's is a crime against humanity. Disrespect is your pointless ranting and name calling.

And if you get kicked off, no one else here will care either. So we all have that in common.

Here's what i did .. 1) Download the App called "Documents Free" 2)Go to Itunes and into your Ipad 3) go 2 Apps 4) On the lower left corner you can read FILE SHARING 5) Scroll down and you will see the window where you can import your files 6) On the lower right you will see the ADD files box ..

7) go to ipad and open the app and your imported files should be there ... good luck !

I never read so much nonsense about an easy task. Download Pages and you can save and read all types of documents. Period

Indeed so much nonsense and people act so arrogant instead of just answering questions.

There are a lot of free apps one can use. One of them is called "phone drive"

Enjoy

I really like my new iPad, and want to keep liking it before the return window closes, however, it's a little frustrating that the answers to simple questions like "how can you store docs" are answered in such a way. I think it's a fairly Reasonable expectation that one can store documents On the iPad for the simple reason that you want to store a document, without having to also install some app. The "well you don't get the iPad if you're expecting to do that" or "you're an idiot if you want to do that" is tiresome, and makes it sound like I'm on a political party posting board as opposed to a commercial product one. My Droid phone doesn't demand an explanation from me to do such things. Also The problem with storing something in the cloud is that it also requires Internet access to get to it; and the problem with keeping an email forever purely to be able to access it's attachment is flawed for self explanatory reasons. Personally, I think it's a flaw that should be addressed by Apple,. Like the lack of a Swype feature. If they added these two basic, reasonable functions, they would kill a huge amount of the competition from Android tabs or that Surface thing, because it's still such a beautiful machine. Thanks.

Adobe Reader for the iPad is what I use. Save doc as .pdf and then choose open in Adobe Reader.

You can buy an android tablet and that will solve all your problems. You welcome ;)

Thank you. Very easy to do, and solved my problem.

But if what you are saying is true then if I can read my resume on my iPad or iPhone then why can't I save it?

I want to do this so if I need to send the resume out it is there for me.

I guess just saving the email w the attachment? Eh?

Or downloading a document mangement app such as File Manager, or using a cloud based service such as DropBox or Box.

Thanks. I will check them out.

File Manager works pretty well. You can create folders, and store and open files of different formats in it.
