Looking for a practical way to edit documents on the move? Microsoft Word is a tool that’s part of everyday life for many. On iPad, it is compact but comprehensive – you can start new documents or continue working on existing ones wherever you go.
Edit documents from anywhere
If you want to access your documents from any device, OneDrive is the fastest solution. Once you create a Microsoft account, you can get started right away. You can also add other online services, too.
Where to find it: Tap the files icon on the left-hand side and add your storage account: for example, Dropbox or Box.
Spruce up your document with images
If you’ve taken a photo with your device or found a picture that is suitable for your document, you can easily add it using the insert function.
Where to find it: Tap Insert in the ribbon, then select the camera icon and positing your photo in the document. You can crop the image and add shadows or a frame using the format templates.
Structure your documents
If you’re creating longer documents, future you – and other readers – will appreciate texts with a clear structure. You can do this by defining the headings, just as on your computer.
Where to find it: While Home is selected in the ribbon, choose a line in your document and apply the appropriate formatting: for example, Headings. This will structure your document accordingly. Select View in the ribbon to see the entire structure.
