Many clients use iPads for mobile experiences. Customers with O365 subscriptions do not want to purchase another subscription
just so they can fill in forms (that they already have a huge investment in with Office documents).
It would be really useful to be able to:

1. Open a new Office form on a mobile device (e.g. iPad, iPhone, Android Phone/tablet, Windows phone/tablet/PC)

2. Fill in the form 

3. Save back to a SharePoint document library, where workflows could then process that form etc.

The use of Office documents as a form is required by these customers for the following reasons:
* They already have a large investment in these documents
* They allow for easy updating, since users have already been trained in how to create these forms using the tools that they are

familiar with.

• They can be easilly edited and traced in the SharePoint environment, and are used as audit trails for processes.

Currently, this can only be done with "Full" windows. Just about all of my clients do not use Windows tablets or phones, so they are
forced to look elsewhere (e.g. Google Docs, etc), which starts to lead them away from O365 and makes them question their investment.

Would be nice to get a definitive answer from MS about whether these capabilities are coming, planned, been considered and discarded, etc. Not
knowing the direction that MS is going to take with this makes it very hard as a partner to assist customers

My favorite hardware keyboard for my iPad is the Logitech K380 (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multi-device-keyboard-k380), which has separate backspace (delete character to left of cursor) and forward delete key (delete character to right of cursor).

In the Word document editor, the forward delete key does not behave as expected though, and instead it does the same thing as the backspace key. This is unfortunate, because text editing is much easier if you have both forms of delete. Similarly, in a text box in PowerPoint or Excel the forward delete key does not behave as expected.

However, in the text search field of Word, the formula editor field of Excel and the document search fields of all three apps the forward delete key behaves as expected. In other Apple and third-party apps the forward delete key works as expected.

My hunch is that the Microsoft's own text input implementation of Word, Excel and PowerPoint does not recognize that the input from the backspace and forward delete key of the K380 keyboard are different. However, whenever Word, Excel and PowerPoint used an iOS API to create a simple one-line text field, the delete key is recognized correctly.

On the other hand, I also have the Logitech Keys to Go keyboard (http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/keys-to-go-ipad). While it does not have a separate forward delete button, pressing the function key ("Fn") and the backspace key ("Delete") combination invokes the forward delete. This forward delete function works as expected everywhere in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and all across iOS apps.

So the problem seems to be that the document editor of Word and text field editors of Excel and PowerPoint does not recognize forward delete instructions coming from external keyboards with dedicated forward delete buttons.

Microsoft: please fix.

Hi, this isn't a "new" idea, but rather I was wondering where a feature went to. It's the "Welcome Back - Pick up where you left off" book mark that used to appear in my MS Word for iPhone app. I use my phone in class for taking notes, and I have several documents that are well over 100 pages, and it's difficult scrolling all the way to the bottom. That feature was so handy. After downloading the latest update, that feature disappeared. I have searched for possible solutions on various MS Office forums, but so far haven't found one that addresses the loss of this feature. I still have this feature when using MS Word on my PC.
