We hope that’s a bug that’s rectified quickly. Oddly, though, Word seemed unable to see some of the folders in our OneDrive Documents folder.

Opening files stored on your OneDrive is easy, with a separate menu for recently opened files.

In our tests, Pages made an absolute car crash of an image- and table-heavy report produced in Word 2013, but Word for iPad preserved it beautifully. Word for iPad shows its real power when opening heavily formatted documents created on a PC. The PC-like bounding boxes and handles work well enough, although we prefer the pinch-to-zoom and rotate facilities in Apple’s Pages app. Inserting photos or shapes into documents is simple, and Word for iPad automatically reflows text around images as you move or resize them. This is disappointing, and undermines Microsoft’s promise to preserve formatting no matter what device you’re working on. There’s a wide selection of fonts, too – although some of these aren’t included with Office for Windows, and will get substituted when you open your document in Word 2013. There are 15 templates to choose from when creating a new document, and even if you’re starting from a blank canvas, there are enough tools to make documents look smart.

The bustling ribbon interface we’re used to has been downsized to just five tabs with a handful of options in each. At first glance, Word looks awfully pared back compared to the Windows version.
