I saved it to my to mail and downloaded documents and doc2 free apps- when I one this in it. Can't edit it for some obscure reason any ideas please
I have yet to hear of a free Office compatible app that works worth a darn.
If jamboji's CloudOn solution doesn't meet your needs, the other apps to look at for editing Office compatible apps worth looking at are.
iWorks apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). Best for document creation on the iPad. Not so good if you're going to keep moving the document back and forth between different apps and computers.
Documents to Go
QuickOffice
Office HD
Polaris Office
The CloudOn (and OnLive) solutions are the only ones that offer near 100% compatibility with Office, since they are essentially Office run on remote servers. The other apps offer various degrees of compatibility and features; but unlike CloudOn they do not need an internet connection to edit your documents.
