With Office² HD you can view, create and edit Word (DOC) and Excel (XLS) files on your iPad.

It integrates with Google Docs, DropBox and MobileMe iDisk too, which means that you can now access your important documents at all times.

Office² HD works with an external keyboard too, making it easy and quick to edit documents and spreadsheets.

Want to use it to transfer files between computers or read your favourite PDF files on the go? Office² HD can store any file, just like a USB stick and can view many different file formats.

GOOGLE/MOBILEME INTEGRATION

Office² HD works with Google Docs, allowing you to view and edit the documents (DOC) and spreadsheets (XLS) stored in your Google Docs account. Not only is this a great way of transferring files to and from Office² HD, it also means that you can manipulate the same files both on the iPad and from within your web browser.

MobileMe users can access files stored on an iDisk, either by opening them and editing them directly on the iDisk or copying them from the iDisk and editing them locally.

TRANSFERRING FILES TO AND FROM OFFICE² HD

Office² HD may be mounted as a drive from Mac Finder or Windows Explorer, or from a web browser on any platform. You can also transfer files over USB using iTunes.

You can open .xls and .doc email attachments into Office² HD and you can also email any file from within Office² HD.
