Does that sound right? That isn't ideal as I have a lot of fancy charts and graphics in my odt documents that don't paste over into Kingsoft, but the iPad is more portable than a Pc and I thought I would be able to do some spot editing and creation and then report the edited files back to the odt master. I think I can bully my odt files into Kingsoft doc files and open them in Hotmail on the iPad if I have Pages on the iPad.
I see Pages is a mere 20 bucks and I can handle that. However, Apple has no control over who buys its products.
The fact is that Apple has done a fantastic job of developing the iPad and its software. odt file resulted in the error message that you reported. In Mail and Safari, attempting to open the. I had no problem opening either the message of the attached converted. In both Safari and Mail, I had no problem opening either the message or the attached converted. I opened the test message in iPad Safari on Live Hotmail's website and in iPad Mail where I also have my account setup. It emailed both documents to my Live Hotmail account as attachments to a test message. This, clearly you did not do.īefore responding to your rant, I created a test document in both. doc format, but you must explicitly select this format when you save the document. odt document format has nothing to do with Microsoft Word's. I also checked the back of the box per your advice, and sure enough, it was an iPad2.Ĭlick to expand.In addition to being "shocked and dismayed," you are also all wet. They were sure it was an iPad 2, not a 3. I called the Best Buy where wife bought iPad. store person did not advise that new unit would be available two days later. Wife assumed she was getting latest and greatest, but she didn't know. Take a look at the box (the back, specifically).
(or not)Īs for which iPad you have - I'm not sure how you can be in possession of an iPad and not know what it is. I see they sell keyboards for iPads, so surely they must do wordprocessing on them, as well. Thus, I would be shocked and dismayed if Apple gave users no way to port documents from a PC to an iPad and then do wordprocessing on the iPad. I can use Open Office to create and edit doc files (actually, odt files) on an iMac. It is (fairly) easy to "select all", "copy" and paste an MS Office file to an Open Office or KingSoft (a Chinese version of MS Office) file and then to edit and mess around in the new format. does not make an iPad app as far as I know and I'm not sure if any of the other Office-type apps (QuickOffice, etc.) support O files.ĭon't kow much more about the. I do not believe it supports editing though. A viewer app called OpenReader can be downloaded from the app store. The iPad's iOS does not natively support OpenOffice file formats.
