Just wondering if people are using Office for iPad. I didn't see a poll, so I thought I'll put one up. Any thoughts you have on Office, please feel free to post comments.
I am greatly against software rental but after kicking the tires on Office for iPad, experienced frustration with other apps attempting to fill in the gap, and the realization that for $65 a year I could have Office installed on every device in my house, I had to make an exception.
iPad apps like "AnyFont" help to make Office docs created on other devices appear identical on an iPad.
For producing documents to be published, I still rely on OSX Pages.
But I'll see how Microsoft handles the new version of Office for Mac and overall their commitment to obtaining feature parity across platforms.
I'm a big fan of nvalt (notational velocity fork) and have much of my notes in plain text stored in DropBox for cross-platform capabilities... But I've warmed up to OneNote. I really like the layout but Microsoft has flubbed it with the lack of inking in both the OSX and iOS version. I managed to get a free copy of Outline+ for iOS which is actually a better OneNote than OneNote.Yes. Office is the best productivity set on the App Store!

Do you use OneNote? I have just tried and am thinking of dropping notability for it. I'm confident that Microsoft will update the Mac version.

I'm currently converting my plain text notes to OneNote as I need to edit them. I have great hopes for OneNote... But I'm painfully aware of how many times Microsoft has disappointed me.
iWork does everything I need so no need to pay $100 a year to use something I only use once and while.

This.. I work on document few times (resumes/cover letter) that was it. Thank God, iWork has an option to save PDF format without any mess up.
You can also save email the doc in a Word format so really it's very multifunctional.
No it doesn't work that way. I created resume with Pages then attached with email sent to my teacher who have Office for Windows, the formats are a mess.

Yes it does. When you email the doc from the iPad it will give you an option to send as word doc pages doc PDF or an ePub. I know this because I have done it before. It's very easy. And the person on the other end opened it in office no problem.
I got a subscription, but not just for the iPad. We have four copies of Office installed in our home, so that plus the iPad apps makes it a good deal to me.
The sub really only makes sense if you take full advantage of it and install/use multiple copies.

The results will vary based on what formatting elements you used in your document. For instance, if you used a font that the other person's computer doesn't have, then you might end up with a messy document.
