Does anyone know of a good simple word processor app that actually works on an iPad ? Pages doesn't seem to do what I want ( or I don't know how to do it !)
All that I want to do at the moment is to set up a letterhead that I can re-use repeatedly because that is quite a cumbersome exercise on an iPad. Then I can write a letter, print it and send by post, along with other documents ( someone is bound to ask why post !)
Every time I try to do this with Pages I bring up the address template and the letter prints on the template rather than uses the template for a fresh page ! Infuriating.... tried all sorts.

Outside of Pages there's always Microsoft Word. Functionality is somewhat limited unless you're a paid user but it's worth a try.
Another thing you could always try: Create the letterhead using a word processor on a Mac or PC and then upload it to a cloud service to access on your iPad. Pages handles Word files quite well.

Doesn't Google have something that will work? or is that Pages?

Pages is actually made by Apple. You're referring to Google Docs. I don't have any experience with Google Docs but it's worth a try.
