All of the "Office" document editing applications on the iPad have limitations. Best try them out to see if they meet your needs.

Hi Robviktor,


I use Office2HD on my iPad and love it. Its only $7.99 and works great to view and/or edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint docs. I use the free Dropbox integration so that everything is saved in the cloud. I can start a document at my desk on my computer and work on it on my iPad when I'm out of the office…then go back to my desk later and see the changes. Not bad for $7.99.


Hope this helps!
