II've received a word document through email that I need to fill in but obviously not able to do it on my iPad is there a app that will let me do this and email it back to them completed ? Haven't got a laptop handy so need to do it on iPad . Thanks in advance.
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8.1
Ok managed to open it with the app but I'm stuck again ! It has saved it to my notes in quick notes but when I click on it opens like before where i can't do anything with it .? If I hold on it it brings up copy paste etc no edit option included a screen shot to try and explain better thank you for your help and patience
Yes. The app is called Microsoft Word for iPad.
thank you you for that I've Downloaded it and created a account but how do I get the word document I received to work with it? As when I go on to my email and open it I still can't do anything with it ? Thanks
When you tap and hold down in the document in the email, you should get a pop up window that will show the MS word app as a selection to Open In. Tap on MS Word in that window and the document will open in the app, where you should be able to edit it. It will also save the document in the app, and from there can email it from the action or share icon in the app.
I'm so sorry. I lost sight of this post. When you tapped and held down on the attachment in the mail app, didnot you get an Open In window with other apps from which you could choose? Word should have been one of those app options. If you can open it in Word, you should be able to edit in there.
Hi thanks for reply when I clicked on attachment I opened it in with word and all that happened and I could do with it is save it but that was it it opened the same as before where you can't do anything with it . I have since deleted the app and downloaded office 365 free version but even though it opens and can put cross in some boxes it doesn't type words into spaces required ? Really lost as to what I'm doing wrong
You might not be doing anything wrong. I tried to download the application to see if I could fill it in using Pages, but I can't download it. I can email the link and when I open it, it simply takes me back to the website where the document resides in the scribd.com website. If you can place X's in some of the boxes, I would have to believe that the document can be edited but that's not necessarily so. If you open the file in Word, and you can't type text in the places where you think that you should be able to, I'm thinking that something is wrong with the file.
Just so that I know we are talking about the same document, you are in the UK, correct? And this is a job application? If both are correct, did you request this to be emailed to you from the company?
Still stuck anyone help ? Thanks x
yes im in uk and its a job application and yes they emailed me the form after I requested .
Is there a app for filling in a word document that I have been emailed for a application form ?
