What about the formatting on the document is screwed up with pages?
We could give that app a try. Thanks! ^
The Word doc is a form with lots of boxes and lines to be filled out. When we try it in Pages on the iPad the words in the boxes have the letters all going down, with no left to right. I guess like this:
N
a
m
e
?
It does that in every box on the form. There's way too many to fix it. What's strange is that using Pages on my MacBook Pro it comes out fine. I have to reduce the zoom level (I think that was the setting) a bit to get the right side of the form to show up. It makes the form slightly smaller, but acceptable to use. However, when we save it on the MacBook and transfer it to the iPad, we get the same results with the text. I can't figure out how to fix it.
