Office suit on iOS 11

[Atindra_Shukla]

If anyone had an elaborate experience about Apple 's native office apps such as Pages, Keynote and Numbers with new iOS 11 beta, I would like to know, how good they are in handling word documents? Or PPTX and Xcel files? We extensively use MS Word with its review and "track changes" features for correction of manuscripts, project drafts etc. These files when imported to Pages, they loose the track changes, the graphic content too gets messed up in word file. Are these shortcomings going to be addressed in iOS 11? Has someone firsthand info on this?

Regards

The apps you mentioned work quite well on the iPhone and I’ve never had a problem with them handling documents and spreadsheets from their Microsoft counterparts.

Oh is it? Then may be my iPad mini had some problems in handling them? Let me check with IPP and new iOS.

I prefer Microsoft Office on iOS 11, it offers incredible compatibility and has all of the features that I like to use.

I can't see why one asking about any Microsoft compatibility would not use Office 365. As a systems administrator of that and G Suite plus occasional Apple app user I'm always finding Microsoft's apps and server side ahead whether features or compatibility.

I have hundreds of users happy with Microsoft Office across all Apple devices. I use my personal Home version of Office 365 and the enterprise version together and it's superb. I have no problems with some files in Microsoft's cloud, some in Dropbox, or the use of those different accounts and services at same time.

Apple’s iWork apps are great, but I still prefer Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
