Hi Grant The issue you report with word on an IOS device is correct, and it would be great if they could sort that.
Having said that, it's much more accessible than it was. I don't quite know what's going on with pages on my IOS devices, but I've just tried it for the first time since the IOS8.3 update and it seems to have gone mad. I was trying to type a document that I need to send off tomorrow, but every time I tried to go through it and check/edit/correct it it just wouldn't let me navigate either by letter or word! It went mad and took me to really random places in the document, or it took me out of the document completely. Has anyone else experience this problem?? In desperation I turned to Word, and so far (touch wood) it's working perfectly! But would be interested to know if anyone else has encountered this issue when typing/editing in Pages since the update??
