Overall, this is an excellent "port" of MS Word. It preserves much of the full version of Words core word processing functions (e.g., most formatting features, the ruler, tables, lists), but leaves a few things to be desired. Namely, it doesnt allow you to set default options for new documents; it doesnt allow you to easily create footnotes; and it doesnt allow you to easily create templates for later use. Still, its light years above Pages (IMO), and Id recommend it to any iPad user whos looking for a reliable, consistently great word processor.
