The drawbacks of Word as I experienced it on the iPad Pro include inconsistent keyboard shortcuts, so that some OS X shortcuts work and some don't. One notable difference between Word on the iPad Pro and a standard iPad: The iPad Pro's onscreen keyboard includes a Tab key the standard iPad's onscreen keyboard doesn't include a Tab. Word on an ordinary iPad adds a Tab key to the toolbar above the keyboard, and it makes the undo, redo, and copy icons accessible only after you first click a different icon on the toolbar that brings up a secondary toolbar with the icons you want. I hope that feature appears soon in one of Microsoft's frequent updates. Other good parts of Word on the iPad include support for iOS's split screen feature, so you can open a Web page or spreadsheet or any other document in one pane of the iPad's screen-but you can't open two Word documents at the same time, which is what I most often need. Other apps, including Apple Pages, also use similar foot-of-the-screen toolbars, but with a different set of features for example, Pages lacks Word's Copy icon but adds a less-useful icon for enlarging or reducing text size. The same toolbar includes icons that add bold, italics, or underlining to a word, undo or redo your typing, and copy selected text to the clipboard. Furthermore, when you're using the iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard, a toolbar appears at the foot of the window with autocorrect suggestions, so you can select a word from the toolbar without lifting your hand from the keyboard.

For example, Control-Left takes you to the start of a line, Option-Right moves to the next word, and so on. You can use the Control, Option, and Command keys to navigate a Word document from the keyboard. The keyboard gives you access to Word's Control, Option, and Command keys, just like the keyboard you use with OS X, though I can't get used to its lack of an Escape key at the upper left or anywhere else. The optional Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro has a solid feel, not quite as good as a laptop or desktop keyboard, but good enough for short bursts of work. The generous 2,732-by-2,048-pixel screen on the iPad Pro makes it easy to see more of a document than you can easily see on any other mobile device. My experience with Word on the iPad Pro was mostly, but not entirely, good.

Note that when Microsoft demonstrated Office on the iPad Pro during Apple's keynote introducing the new tablet, it showed the Apple Pencil being used to mark up documents-but that feature still hasn't been released, although it may arrive early this year.

I found the experience better than anything I've tried on a tablet running Android, iOS, or Windows. Microsoft recently optimized its Office apps for the new iPad Pro ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), and I wrote most of this review using Word on that high-powered tablet, typing the text on Apple's Smart Keyboard, and sometimes using the Apple Pencil ($98.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) to move the cursor and select text.

But for tablet users it's by far the best word processing iPad app there is, and, the more I use it, the more I'm convinced that it's a worthwhile and mature piece of software that deserves a home on the iPad of anyone who writes. The app, which also runs on the iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone, is still missing some features that power users of desktop word processing apps (like me) consider essential. Microsoft keeps improving all of its mobile Office apps unobtrusively, adding features that have long been in the Windows and OS X versions, such as the ability to open files in the OpenDocument format used by the open-source office suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Tablets are still far from the ideal platform for word processing from start to finish, but if you have an iPad and you need to edit your documents, Microsoft Word for iOS ($0.00 at ) (Opens in a new window) is your best choice, by far.
