What is the best word processing app for ipad 3

Pages for Mac

The last word in word processing.

Pages for Mac is a powerful word processor that gives you everything you need to create documents that look beautiful. And read beautifully. Redesigned for OS X El Capitan, it lets you work seamlessly between Mac and iOS devices. And even work effortlessly with people who use Microsoft Word.

Powerful creative tools

Creative writing. No matter what your subject.

Express yourself both verbally and visually. But always artistically. Choose fonts, styles, and character and line spacing. Drop in a photo. Then resize it, rotate it, and remove the background. Maybe even add an interactive chart. And use the new Split View feature in OS X El Capitan to quickly drag in a logo from your graphic design app. Pages is a full‑featured word processor that helps you turn every document into a must‑read.

Say a lot. Before you write a word.

Apple‑designed templates help make your documents look professional from the start. There are 60 beautiful designs for all kinds of uses. It’s like having a graphic designer built in.

Communicate by design.

You can easily add photos, interactive charts, shapes, or tables. And everything snaps into perfect alignment thanks to the pixel‑accurate rulers and alignment guides. So your page looks just the way you pictured it.

Change your writing style instantly.

Preset styling options let you instantly customize text, images, shapes, cells, tables, and charts right when you create them. So each document has its own signature.

Intelligent word wrap. Words and pictures come together perfectly.

Love at first draft.

From the word go, Pages places you in the perfect writing environment. It puts all the right tools in all the right places. Which makes it second nature to choose a look and customize the fonts, styles, and graphics. Since Pages is engineered for the 64‑bit power of OS X El Capitan, everything happens at the speed of thought, too.

The right tools, right at hand.

The format panel automatically displays relevant controls based on what you’ve selected. So you have the controls you want, just when you want them. And a simplified toolbar makes quick work of finding the tool you’re looking for.

More tools to design your page.

Easily drag and drop your sections to get the right order. Use the vertical ruler and alignment guides to position your text, images, and shapes with precision.

Advanced writing tools

Everything you need to cross

Insert citations with EndNote or math equations with MathType. * Check the word count. Track changes through rounds of revisions. Doing it all is remarkably simple. Even though the features are anything but basic.

A sidebar that’s not just an aside.

The new sidebar helps you keep track of comments and changes even more easily. Hover over comments to see which text they refer to. Sort feedback by page and date, and filter it by author. So you can stay on top of things no matter how much editing you need to do.

Automatically format your lists. Check your spelling, grammar, and word count. Pages checks off all the things you’d want in a word processor. And more.

Pages everywhere

Put all your devices to work. Together.

Always at hand.

Now with iCloud Drive, you have a place in the cloud where you can store all kinds of files, organize them however you want, and access them from any of your devices. Put a document in an iCloud Drive folder on one device and you’ll find it in the same folder on your other devices with your latest edits — so you never have to wonder what’s where or which is the latest version.

See it here. See it there.

With Handoff, you can seamlessly switch from Pages on your iOS device to Pages on your Mac and vice versa. Whatever document you were last working on will be there waiting for you with all your latest edits. Thanks to a single file format shared by Pages for Mac and Pages for iOS, your document will look the same no matter the device.

Spread the words.

Pages makes sharing and collaborating as natural as writing. Just tap Share and you can send a copy of your file. Or share a link to your document with anyone you want. You can even work on files that are stored with third-party storage providers. And documents can be sent via services such as Gmail or Dropbox. That means your coworkers aren’t working on lots of constantly changing versions and won’t have to worry about files they can’t open. Finally, everyone really is on the same page.

Share and share and share and share alike.

Quickly and easily share a link to your work via Mail, Messages, Twitter, or Facebook. So colleagues can conveniently view the shared document in any browser — even on iOS or Android. There have never been so many ways to increase your readership.

Translate your work. Into many formats.

Export your Pages document in Microsoft Word, PDF, plain text, or Pages ’09 formats. Or export in ePub format to make a gorgeous ebook.

Microsoft Word friendly

You don’t have to work in Office to work with Office.
