Hi, all, OK! I feel like I created the little confusion so I am here to support my opinion with some resources. It is true that there are several apps for the iPad, word, powerpoint, and excell. I have pasted links for everything in the bottom of my message as soon as I finish writing what I have to say. I am talking about the Microsoft Word app for iPad. In addition, I have pasted the link for the podcast from the Flying Blind weekly news letter email. I agree that it does not announce style but with the Microsoft 365 subscription, you can read and edit. Without the subscription, you can only read. I have not bought the subscription, but have seen in use in the podcast and in person off of somebody whom I know. Now, here are the links that I brought. I have the links for each app for the iPad separately and the link for the podcast. It is almost like apple iSweet which includes Pages, keynote and numbers. So, here it is.
Podcast: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3869538/How%20Accessible%20Is%20Microsoft%20Office%20On%20iPad.mp3 Microsoft Word app for the iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-word-for-ipad/id586447913?mt=8 Microsoft Powerpoint app for iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-powerpoint-for-ipad/id586449534?mt=8 Microsoft Excell for iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-excel-for-ipad/id586683407?mt=8 Hope that helps, Thanks!
