How to view Microsoft Documents on iPad and iPhone

The use of tablets have drastically increased over the past few years as there are now more demands for mobile computing on the go. Different tablet makers try to customize their product so as to retain their leverage in the tablet war. Apple tablets are based on their iOS while Google’s is on their Android OS. That is why I was happy when I heard that Microsoft is releasing their own tablet PC called Surface. For a very long time there has been great difficulty for Apple tablet users to read Microsoft’s documents on their tablet.

With Apple’s dominance of the tablet market it is difficult for most iPad users to read Microsoft documents on their tablet as both are products of different companies and are not compatible. I want to show you today how you can read all Microsoft documents on your iPad or any other Apple product like iPhones.

Using the method I am going to show you below, you will be able to view Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc on your iPad or iPhone. Microsoft Office formats are not compatible with Apple’s iOS so my little tricks here will definitely be useful to any Apple tablet or smartphone user.
