Hi,*
I use my ipad to take notes in my college classes. I'm currently using Docs to go as a word processor since it has the option to sync directly all my folders and files to my desktop and iphone through dropbox. The only thing that is really not working for me is that this app doesn't have is spell check. Also I have created new shortcuts that help me write faster but in Docs to go it doesn't recognize them so they don't work properly.*
Adiotionally I need to insert pictures from camera roll and from the Internet directly into the documents.
The last thing I was hoping to do on Docs to go was use commands without having to tap the different options on the screen (command+ B fo bold, for example).*
Docs to go is not the only app available, I was looking into Quickoffice but before buying another app I wanted to make sure Docs to go didn't have all these options, and find out if Quickoffice did.*

I was hoping that someone could help me solve this.

Thank you

My recommendation is Pages. It does all you require and more. Well worth $10.

I also use Docs 2 Go for word processing because I'm a Windows user who likes Word. However, Docs 2 Go Word seems quite crude compared to Apples Pages. I'm about to buy pages so that I can take advantage of more powerful formatting options like bullet points.
