Permanently Change/Set a New Default Font
This app is great! However, it would really be EXTREMELY helpful if you were able to permanently change/set your own choice of font so that it is automatically chosen for you when you open a new document and/or add in a text box. The default font for the iPad is currently the “Calibri” font, however this font is not as professional as some of the others. It would be AMAZING if you were able to change/set the font to your own personal preference such as “Times New Roman”. OR you could just change the app so the default font is…

Dark Mode
So many new apps, the Medium app for example, are providing a Dark Mode for ease of use during darkened or nighttime viewing conditions. So, why hasn’t MS Word given us this choice? The eye strain for someone who does a lot of reading, writing, and editing in dark conditions is almost unbearable at times. You may as well shine a lamp in your face while working! But, seriously, it’s time for Microsoft to stop playing catch-up and be the leader they can be. Please, bring Dark Mode to the mobile MS Office apps, especially Word, ASAP! Thank you.

Nynorsk language spelling dictionary must be included in Word app for iOS
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.378 votes -
Mouse/trackpad support for Word for iPad
In iPadOS 13.4, Apple introduced mouse and trackpad support more broadly into the platform. Word would offer a greatly enhanced user experience by offering full support ie change the cursor for text editing, enable support for left and right clicks etc. Would be great to see.

Since iPads are popular for students, it would be beneficial to implement the references and bibliography feature.
It does not seem like a huge update in comparison to what Word is already capable of on iOS. This would help the movement from laptops to iPad far easier as they’re becoming the more popular option for students due to the ease of transport and access etc.

Support for multitasking in IPadOS for Microsoft Office. This is crucial. And also shouldn’t be that difficult. Everyone is doing it.
IPadOS now supports multitasking and this feature is very useful for enhancing productivity. Microsoft Office has not updated their apps for the IPad in this regard and is still lagging behind.One would have imagined that the apps would be updated within weeks as far as this crucial feature is concerned. Please update ASAP.

APA formatting and references for IPad Word version
Please consider developing an app to a regular full version. I study psychology and I travel. Ipad is ideal device for my school.
And yet I can’t really use Word because it is not developed to its full version as an app.201 votes -

We need to be able to password protect our documents and add the thesaurus for iPad!
As a teacher and a writer, I need to be able to password protect my documents. I use my iPad at home and at work and this feature is something I miss. Also the need for the thesaurus as well as the dictionary is an obvious one!

Ability to change a document's background color on the iPad
On the Windows and Mac versions it is possible to change a document's background color by going to the design tab. Word for iOS will display correctly documents whose background color has been changed elsewhere (on a Mac or Windows PC), but does not allow for the change to be made within the app itself. I like to change background color for comfort while editing and that is the one feature I sorely need.

Copy Excel Table Into Word
I used to be able to copy a formatted table from Excel into Word, as a table with the same format but I could modify column and row height/width, etc. Now all of a sudden after the latest update, it will only paste as a picture, which is blurry, ugly and not at all what I need. Why was this feature removed? Very frustrating as I have always been able to do this and is a simple needed function of daily document creation but is now severely impacted with almost no workaround, other than having to use a completely different…
