At work, we use .doc files, which I have been editing with Pages. Now, we are using Word 2010 documents with selectable boxes (in which we can click, and then we are shown a few options to pick; for example, in a field about Gender, instead of typing Male or Female, we click on an arrow in the field and we can then select a Male or a Female options).

However, when opening those documents on Pages, the selectable boxes are gone, preventing the documents from being filled properly.

Is there any app for the iPad that can edit a Word document while preserving this kind of functionality? Or should I just give up, and wait for Office for the iPar?

Documents to go is pretty good for creating/editing word and excel but i dont know if it does tick boxes. if you want to post an example file that i can download ill try it for you.
