![]() ![]() It doesn’t provide for opening files in other apps. Quickoffice connect HD (get it from iTunes here) can create and edit MS Word and Excel documents, and read PDFs. I haven’t used it, so I can’t tell you anything about it, other than what I read. Pages (get it from iTunes here) is Apple’s iPad version of its Mac word processor. You might also like to look at Josh Barrett's Tablet Legal two articles on Word processors on iPad for lawyers P art I and Part II. Footnotes and paragraph numbering are real problems, which means the iPad isn't helpful for formatting submissions. Most of the programs allow varying degrees of text manipulation, but struggle with anything more complex than text and two hard-returns. ![]() I don't use the iPad for this very much, but it’s possible to create spreadsheets and Word documents on the iPad. ![]() It allows access to any files or folders I select on my computer, not just those stored in DropBox. It doesn't offer annotating, but does allow files to be stored locally and opened in other apps. I haven't used it much, but in my limited playing with it, I found the iPad app a bit clunky and slow. SugarSync (get if from iTunes here) also provides cloud storage and synchronises files. You can email a link to an individual file, or open a file using another app like one of the ones above. It can view many file types, but has no annotating ability and no capacity to save files on the iPad. (Actually, I use another work-around, but I'll mention that in a later post.) For now, it doesn't support file sync from iTunes into folders, but only into the main directory, and I then manually move them. I added the folders you see at the top left. GoodReader (get it from iTunes here) is my file viewer of choice. (Apart from SugarSync’s own app, none of them link directly with the SugarSync cloud service I mentioned here.) We need an app (application) to store and view our files. The iPad doesn't access it storage memory the way a computer does: there's no file manager or explorer program. I mentioned in my last post how great the iPad is for carrying around many documents. ![]()
