I am a business professional lucky enough to be the guinea pig for our first Apple product. I hope this site will be helpful to get information, especially concerning business apps (I will of course be using the iPad for pleasure as well).

Funny you should ask. I did some research for my company before we issued iPads to the field teams recently. Like most companies our business uses MS Office primarily and I had to determine the best software for the iPad to be able to read and save Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. For day-to-day use Pages, Numbers, Keynote and GoodReader were fine. However when it came to editing and saving documents in Word and especially Excel, Pages and Numbers weren't up to the task.pcguru83 said:For those who use Pages on the iPad, is there a way to save in a Microsoft Word format directly from the iPad? I know the desktop version supports this, but wasn't sure about on the iPad. If not, are there any iPad applications that can create and edit Word docs?
The same question holds for Numbers and Keynote as well with regards to their MS equivalent.
Welcome to the forum. I've just used the basic Documents to Go Office Suite.@richsadams-- which version of docs to go is your go-to? (office, premium, etc.?)
I don't know that they have anything built in. I just get the underlined word "warning" if I make a spelling mistake as well as a suggested spelling/word as I type.@Rich
Thanks for the review. I have one more question.
I have poor spelling and rely heavily on spell-check. The iOS spell-check is not that great. Does any of those tools have a good spell checker?
