Running Office On Ipad

broken image


If you have an Apple iPad and you run applications in the Virtual Office CS or SaaS environment, you can set up your iPad to run the applications.

The OneDrive app that works with the iPad has a serious failing: You can't use it to upload files to OneDrive. However, one of the primary reasons for using Office for the iPad is to be able to take your work with you. You can upload Office files from your laptop or desktop computer to OneDrive and be able to work on these files on the iPad. Office on the iPad and OS X: A decent experience Microsoft has had Mac versions of its suite for decades - Excel and PowerPoint got their start on the Mac, in fact. It's been sad to see Microsoft. A company that wants to provide Office on iPads could consider setting up a remote desktop server workers can connect to. It's not as good as a solid local office app, but it is a way to get the full version of Microsoft Office on an iPad, Android tablet, or any other device.

Activate Office On Ipad

Prerequisites

  • Your iPad must run iOS version 6.0 or higher. You can update your iOS application through the Apple website.
  • You must download the latest version of the Citrix Workspace for iPad app to your iPad.

Setting up the Citrix Workspace for iPad app

  1. Open the Citrix Workspace for iPad app on your iPad.
  2. Tap the Add Account button.
  3. In the New Account dialog, enter the website address through which you access NetStaff CS (for example, (https://secure.netlinksolution.com/nextgen/?firm=) and tap Next.

    Note: For accessing applications through Virtual Office CS or SaaS, an 'account' is the NetStaff CS login page.

  4. Tap the Manual Setup button.
  5. Enter any description in the Description field, verify that the Web Interface checkbox is marked, and tap Save.

You are now ready to work in applications that run in the Virtual Office CS or SaaS environment on your iPad.

Troubleshooting

If you're unable to log in to applications through Virtual Office CS or SaaS on an iPad, clear the browser history on the iPad and then try again.

I recently got an iPad and I love it. I take it everywhere, so I can keep up with email, browse the web and watch videos. I'd like to dump my laptop and carry just one mobile device, but I need to run Word and other office apps. Is there a way to run MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint on the iPad?

Can The iPad Be Your Portable Office?

The iPad is great for entertainment, Web browsing, and multimedia. But what about bread-and-butter business apps like word processing, spreadsheets, presentation graphics, etc.? Is there a version of Microsoft Office that runs on the iPad?

The short answer is no. Microsoft and Apple don't have a friendly relationship, to put it mildly. So don't hold your breath waiting for the folks in Redmond to put out a Cupertino-compatible version of the MS Office suite of programs. But there are several business productivity apps for your iPad, it turns out.

None of them approaches the highly refined efficiency and features of MS Office, but they do enable office work and many are compatible (to varying degrees) with Office documents.

Apple's iWork for iPad office suite consists of a word processor called Pages; a spreadsheet dubbed Numbers; and presentation software named Keynote. Priced separately at $9.99 each, the iWork programs are available directly from Apple. A companion Web site called iWork.com provides uploading and downloading of iWork files in their native format, as MS Office documents, or as PDFs. However, iWork only lets you create MS Office files; you cannot import them. Unlike Google Docs or Windows Live Office, iWork.com does not allow online editing. But iWork.com is good for collaboration among remotely distributed employees.

DataViz Documents to Go Premium ($11.99 via iTunes) is a 'universal app' for iPad, iPod, and iPod Touch. It supports MS Office Word, Excel, and Powerpoint file formats. It also is compatible with more online storage and collaboration services than the iWork suite, including Google Docs, Box.net, Dropbox, iDisk, and SugarSync. You can buy it at the iTunes store.

Office2 HD ($7.99) has only word processor and spreadsheet modules. Unlike iWork, Office2 HD can import MS Office files. However, it does not yet support Office 2007 formats, which may be a limitation for business users. Offce2 HD is available on iTunes.

QuickOffice Connect Mobile Suite ($9.99 for iPad) supports Powerpoint presentations as well as Word and Excel documents. It also supports GoogleDocs, MobileMe, Dropbox, Box.net, Huddle and Sugarsync cloud-based storage services. Versions are available for iPad, iPhone, Android, HP WebOS, and Symbian platforms. Download the Apple version at iTunes.

One other option deserves mention here, and that's the remote desktop concept. It's possible to access your Windows desktop with a remote access app for the iPad. Learn more about how this works in my related article Windows on the iPad.

The iPad will never replace desktop MS Office as a business productivity tool. For one thing, a ten-inch screen is not the place for major work projects. Also, typing on a touch-screen takes some getting used to. External keyboards are available for the iPad but none of these office apps integrates well with a keyboard; you have to switch from keyboard to screen for some operations. But as a tool for mobile workers who need to create, read, or share Office documents, the iPad has a role to play.

I have been using Quick Office for several months. I use it to take notes in meeting with the keyboard attached to my IPad. Then I email or upload the files to Dropbox so I have them on my office computer.

I find it very efficient and a lot less to carry around to meetings.
