Nynorsk language spelling dictionary must be included in the Word app for iOS
The Norwegian Nynorsk language spelling dictionary is not available in the iOS app version of Word. This is very unfortunate, as iPads are more and more in use for writing and exams in Norwegian schools, and all students at high school level must write the language.

There should be a reference tab in word for iOS like there is in word for OS. It makes it more difficult to write an assignment and enter references because an outside citation tool has to be used and the reference has to be transferred into the document. It is very time consuming and inefficient.

It would be great to have Ingush spelling dictionary available for download from Microsoft official resources.

In text citation us very important for producing articles at tertiary level otherwise word is useless. I can’t use my ipad to do assignments since I cannot reference making word and my ipad very limited near to useless as a productive tool.

Please please create a feature - like on other Word platforms - to permanently change the default font on the Word app. It is an inconvenience to have to change my font every time I want to work with a new document in word

Assignments have a word count cap and its important to be able to view word count of a page or highlighted text as we can do on desktop

Include option to include vertical ruler. It doesn’t make sense just to have horizontal ruler only!

We've noticed that the Word iOS app doesn't seem to copy the formatting when we paste it into other apps it loses the formatting. This causes friction as the user needs to then change all the formatting within the app to match what was in Word.

If a sentence is

"Word word word. – Word word word."

Then Microsoft Words spell checker wants the word after the dash not capitalized. But this is the case only with a dash in, not a dash after a sentence.

Today people are using ipad or tablet for work. So it will be very helpfull if all the function in microsoft words for laptop is SAME with the ipad/tablet. For example: the ADVANCE find and replace function — it is very usefull for text editing purpose. Please please please improve the microsoft words for ipad/tablet!

Productivity and research

I purchased an iPad Pro to upgrade from my old MacBook Pro, BUT there is no mail merge in word for the iPad. This is a disaster as I am unable to print any certificates. I am going to have to return the iPad for a refund and cancel my Office 365

Word for iPad needs a navigation pane option.

Please add the manage sources and bibliography insert for iPad.

Allow us to create our own customizable default “Blank page/template”
with our own default font style, color, margins size etc. - which gets saved into the same area as all the other templates - so we don’t have to customize the current “Blank page/template” each and every time we start a new document. Just like changing the default “normal template.docx” in the full Word version.

Also please add shading of text (I don’t mean highlighting) + a toggle to permanently see the ruler and set it to in inches. Thank you for your help.

I contacted Microsoft support, and they told me that there is no way to set the paper size of a document when using Word for iPad or iPhone. It would be useful to have that ability so that when you send a person the document you created via Word on an iPhone or iPad, the document would print out in the correct size and formatting.

The Office iOS apps allow a backdoor into a password protected Dropbox.
Every other app using Dropbox needs a password or TouchID to access apart from the Office iOS suite which asks once and remembers!
Easy fix: add option for password protect & TouchID to all office apps. Don't expose the user's enire Dropbox - what an obvious security error!

It would be great to have an option to cutomize the page/document size.

Please allow the referencing apps like Mendeley to be functional on iPad version of Word. Without this feature educators might stop using it
