[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1495503, member: 197651"] I use Docs2Go Premium for working with Office documents. I feel it exports/saves as a Microsoft Word/Excel document with less incompatibilities than Pages. It is less than the Apple versions, in fact, you can get Premium sometimes for less than a single Apple office app if you watch the price. The thing with Office (native office) is that it is so powerful and complex, compatible doesnt cut it if you need that power. You can do simple equations that will be compatible, but not full on macros. Also, keep in mind that Microsoft is supposed to be releasing its Office suite to iOS in March. Will we actually see it then? Dunno. I hope they take their time and do it right. Don't know the price, but I am 90% sure I will be buying it. All that being said, I use spreadsheets that have auto-calculation built in and they work fine. I use tables and forms in other documents and they work fine. I do not use Pages or Numbers or any of the Apple office apps. I use Office for Mac 2011 on my MBP, Office 2010 at work on Win7 and Docs2Go Premium on my iPad. D2G Premium also works directly with Dropbox, box.net, google docs and sugar sync. [/QUOTE]
