Hi - I am a retired teacher who must learn to use the ipad I just purchased. I mainly want to use it for email when I travel.

I already have two questions:
1. How do you use "enter" since it is not on the keyboard?
2. How can I work offline and write or edit email?

Hi Rosemary and welcome to the forum. The 'enter' key title changes depending on the reason the keyboard has been activated. For example it will be called 'return' in regular text typing, 'done' for entering data, 'go' for entering an action, 'search' for entering a search phrase etc. As for you email, I compose mine in the Gmail app, edit, etc., if I need to look something up I just close the app by pressing the Home button, find what I want, open Gmail again and I am right at where I left off. You could also use Notes to compose and edit email, then copy and paste it into your mail app, but as you are not using 'air time' or need Wi-Fi to write email, it doesn't really matter, because you are not 'online' until you press send.
