Thanks for the welcome!
I used to use ...Hi, Susan,<br />Thanks for the welcome!<br /><br />I used to use Pages on the iPad. It wasn't bad and converted fairly well to Word. But I finally broke down and got a monthly subscription to MS Office 365. It gives me Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a couple of others for $6.99 a month. It works well. My only complaint is that if you're saving on the Cloud, which I recommend, you have to exit your document each time you want to do something else on the iPad. If you don't, chances are that Word will ask you to rename the file the next time you open it because "someone else has it open." I've gotten used to it now, so I'm happy.<br /><br />You can get a one-month subscription for free to try it out. They no longer "sell" a version of Word. You need the monthly subscription.<br /><br />Let me know what you decide.James W.

I tried the resident program and thought it was awful and it required translations to move it into Word via email files. I'd like to try carrying only an iPad for writing on the road but my experience turned me off to the idea.

If you are plotting and researching and making notes that you can find later, you are organiz-ized.<br /><br />Your books show that. Once of the things that will make me throw a book across the room is the need for editing. I want to read, not figure out a better way to write a sentence or look up what seems to be erroneous. That's not my job. I am a reader, not a writer.<br /><br />Take care and I look forward to the next in the series.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187856103924954287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-88566286739966538432017-08-17T06:17:30.924-07:002017-08-17T06:17:30.924-07:00You seem wonderfully organized to me, Jim.

I, too, put all happenings into my electronic calendar the minute I make them, because like you the chances of remembering them on my own are close to nil. But I am curious about your use of the iPad for writing. I've thought of doing it, but thought it was too small. By the way welcome to Criminal Minds.
