iPad & OpenOffice

[Bruce & Sandy Salisbury <wa...@comcast.net>]

Greetings:

 

I would like to know if OpenOffice can be used on an iPad successfully or is
planned for iPad Air2?  If currently available for iPad, which one and where
can I obtain it?

 

If not OpenOffice, what is available to get out of mainstream and still
produce quality products?

 

I really want to leave Microsoft behind if possible.

 

Since I teach part-time at a public community college, and I am required to
teach Microsoft.  As I am close to retirement, I would like to get free of
them.  I am moving away from PCs to the world of Apple.

 

FYI ~ I do stress to my students that OpenOffice is free and available to
them, and that if they master the concepts of MS they will make the
transition easily.

 

Thanks,

Bruce

Apple is more expensive than PC.

Unfortunately Pages does not either import or export OO format; the only OO bridge is via a .doc file.

I have Pages, but find its UI enough different from anything I'm used to that it's a PITA making it do what I want.

Hi Bruce,

OpenOffice runs with Apple's OS X-System. That's the iMacs, Notebooks.
The flat Apple-devices like iPad, iPhone run with iOS and with that 
system it's NO OO.

Alternatively you could use PAGES which runs on all Apple-devices.

Kind regards - Paul
