You can save documents to OneDrive from your desktop Office sessions using either Office 2010 or 2013. In read-only mode you can't open a document, spreadsheet, or PowerPoint presentation from within the associated app unless you sign in to your Windows account, which comes with 8 GB of free OneDrive cloud storage. The only place I could enter characters in ready-only mode was in the Search menu. However, in read-only mode none of my text appeared. You can even tap the "Dictate" button or double-tap the edit window to start dictation. Double-tapping the latter will call up the document creation screen, and the onscreen keyboard will appear. At the conclusion you are given the opportunity to log in to the Microsoft account you have registered to your Office 365 account, or you can skip this step by activating the "Sign in Later" button (but without an Office 365 account you will be limited to read-only mode in all of the Office for iPad apps).Īt each of the main app screens you are presented with several basic templates, along with a New Document tab.
Each of the slideshow screens voices automatically before moving onto the next slide. Upon opening each of the apps for the first time, you are presented with a brief slide show/advertisement for Office 365.

Office for iPad includes three apps: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Note, however, the apps only offer the yearly subscription option.

The good news is that Office for iPad is free-well, sort of. It is not compatible with the original iPad, any iPhone, or any iPod touch. As the name implies, Office for iPad is available only for iPads running iOS 7.0 or later. But how does this suite stack up as far as accessibility? Let's take a look. Combine that with the ever-increasing use of Apple products for working on the go and Office for iPad would appear to fill a definite need. Rare is the individual who attends high school or college, or who works in a business setting, who does not use MS Office daily.
For many years MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook have been the go-to applications for both education and business productivity. On March 27 of this year, Microsoft introduced the long-awaited Office for iPad.
