Why is there no clear cache option in the Safari Settings on my iPad 2? I have attached (I hope) a screen capture of the problem. David

I can find no way to save a file in iCloud. I have the same problem in the Word and the Excel sections. I would have though pressing File on the menu would allow this -but pressing it does not seem to do anything. Help appreciated. David.
