Can you get Microsoft Word on an iPad
Posted: Nov 24, 2019
- Microsoft Word allows you to write, edit, and save documents — whether it s a shared assignment, a presentation for work, or a personal project. Although it s most commonly used on a PC or Mac computer, you can also download the app to access files on your iPad.
The Word app is extremely similar to the desktop version, and allows you to create a blank document or start from a template. Additionally, you can quickly view a list of your recent files or shared projects. After downloading the app from the App Store, you ll be prompted to sign into your Microsoft Office account, or create an account if you don t have one already.
It s important to note that your document changes will only sync across devices if you are signed in with the same Microsoft Office account on both the mobile app and your PC or Mac.
Here s how to download and sign into the Microsoft Word app on your iPad, along with how to use it.
