[QUOTE="davowolf, post: 1949062, member: 387936"] No Bob, editing and new files in the iMac desktop not the iPad. The iPad is for out and about read only. Microsoft 365 Word as you suggest seems free only for a trial period and $130 (£85 to me in UK) pa. My Open Office, although it crashes sometimes, has been free for the several years I've used it, recommended by the way on this forum at the time. My solution at the moment to thwart problem I originally posed, is simply to save each file as Word 97 from within Open Office (it is an option, perhaps surprisingly) and magically it opens to read on the iPad. This however is tedious as I have many dozens of chords and song words. This now instead of the Pages solution I went for yesterday which Rod kindly responded to. [/QUOTE]
