    Thanks!

    Based on this advice, I bought Pages. What I seem to have discovered includes:
    • Dropbox is not an option.
    • iCloud works, although the documentation is a bit annoying in that it talks about iCloud predecessor alternatives but not iCloud. (You need to look for iCloud documentation online, basically, rather than going through Pages' Help.)
    • Pages can read .docx files and emit .doc ones.
    • Every time you move a document from Pages (on the iPad) to Word (on your Windows PC) or back, an extra copy is created, in honor of the fact that Pages and Word have different native formats.
    • Undo and Redo work fine.
    • There is no "Save As" or other easy option to fork versions while on your iPad. Changes you make are mirrored on-screen and in any stored copy as you go. That includes changes to the document's contents and to its name. (Documents, when created, have a null name of "Blank Document" until you change it.)

    Does that sound about right?

    That sounds about right to me. Once you have gotten used to its idiosyncrasies I think you'll grow to love it. Of course, it is a cut down version of a true computer WP package but for $10 I think it is better than I would have expected.

    I think you'll like the ability to collaborate on documents. I use the feature to switch between using my iPad and iPhone depending on where I am, and what I'm doing, and it's handy to know that wherever you happened to be on a document, both devices have the most up to date copy.

    Keep your eyes on the iWork's section of the forum. As I discover new features, I'm going to post them there.
