Microsoft website charges to buy Office when ordering the iPad from them, I bought mine from Amazon. Have heard from someone else with an iPad that Word did not work well.

Is Microsoft Office For Ipad The Same For Mac Pro

ISSUE

If you use OneNote 2016 for Mac and OneNote for iPhone and iPad, you may be asked to sign in any time you open the OneNote app or when you switch between notebooks. Similarly, OneNote may require you to sign in repeatedly to resolve sync errors.

STATUS: INVESTIGATING

Please update to the latest version of OneNote for Mac, iPhone and iPad. If you've downloaded OneNote from the Mac App Store, launch the App Store and check for Updates. You should see the option to update OneNote there. If you installed OneNote as part of Microsoft Office for Mac, then open OneNote, go to the Help > Check for Updates menu to launch the Microsoft AutoUpdate app and follow instructions there. Update all of the Microsoft Office applications, since they all use the same keychain items. To learn more, see Check for updates in OneNote 2016 for Mac.

To download the latest version of OneNote for iPhone and iPad, check the App Store for automatic updates. If you also have other Microsoft Office apps for iOS (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), you will need to update all of them.

Microsoft Office For Ipad Cost

If you are still experiencing the issue after installing the recent updates, the next step would be to clear your Office credentials, and recreate them by following these steps:

To clear your Office credentials for macOS

Sometimes your credentials can get corrupted, causing OneNote to continually prompt you to enter your password. To clean this up, do the following:

Ipad

  1. Quit from all Mac Office Applications, except for OneNote

  2. In OneNote, sign out. This only logs you out, and all the notebooks will still be there.

  3. Quit OneNote.

  4. Launch 'Keychain Access' and search for all items that contain 'Office15'. There should be only a couple items, one for each account you have logged into.

    1. The name will be a long alpha-numeric code and the kind will start with “MicrosoftOffice15…”

  5. Delete these items. It is only deleting the authentication credentials, no data. Once you sign in again, they will be re-created.

  6. Launch OneNote and sign into your accounts.

Since all the office apps share the credentials (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) you will have to sign in again with those apps as well.

To clear your Office credentials for iOS

Sometimes your credentials can get corrupted, causing OneNote to continually prompt you to enter your password. To clean this up, do the following:

  1. If you have other Office apps installed (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc), make sure you have updated this to be the latest version. Since we share the same Office identity, if there is a bug in any of those apps, it can corrupt the identity.

  2. Clearing your credentials often helps. To do that, follow these steps.

    1. Go to iOS Settings > OneNote > Reset OneNote > Delete Sign-In Credentials and turn the toggle on.

    2. Make sure OneNote is not running. (Double tap the home screen to see all running apps and swipe up on OneNote to close it.)

    3. Re-open OneNote and sign in again.

This article covers frequently asked questions about the availability of Office from the Mac App Store, and the differences between downloading Office apps directly from Microsoft.

Starting in January 2019, the following Office applications are available for download from the Mac App Store: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote*, and OneDrive*.

* These apps were also available from the Mac App Store in previous years.

Microsoft

  1. What version of Office is available from the Mac App Store?

    The Office apps available from the Mac App Store provide the very latest version of Office on the Mac. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook require an Office 365 subscription to activate. OneNote and OneDrive do not require an Office 365 subscription, but some premium features may require an Office 365 subscription.

  2. Is this the same as Office 2019?

    No. Office 2019 is the one-time purchase, non-subscription product (also known as perpetual). An Office 365 subscription provides always up-to-date versions of Office apps and access to additional premium features and services. The apps available in the Mac App Store are not compatible with Office 2019 licenses.

  3. I currently own Office 2016 for Mac and want to upgrade my version of Office. Should I download Office from the Mac App Store?

    If you own the older perpetual release of Office, you can download the new version of the apps from the Mac App Store, and purchase a new Office 365 subscription using the in-app purchase option. In-app purchase offers include Office 365 Home, and Office 365 Personal. Your license from the perpetual release of Office will not work with the app versions from the App Store. Click here to learn about Office 365 subscriptions and pricing.

  4. I already have an Office 365 subscription, and the Office apps are already installed on my Mac. Do I need to do anything?

    No. It's likely that you installed Office directly from Microsoft. The Microsoft AutoUpdate app will keep your existing apps up-to-date. The apps in the Mac App Store do not provide functionality beyond what you have today.

  5. If I download Office from the Mac App Store, do I still use Microsoft AutoUpdate to get updates?

    Microsoft AutoUpdate is only used to get updates for apps that you download directly from Microsoft. If you download Office from the Mac App Store, then the App Store will provide you with future updates of Office. You may have other Microsoft apps installed on your Mac, and AutoUpdate will continue providing updates just for those apps.

  6. Can I have multiple versions and builds of Office installed on my Mac?

    No. Office 365, Office 2019, and Office 2016 use the same application and file names. To see which version of Office you have installed on your Mac, open one of the apps, and look at the License text in the About dialog.

  7. Can I get Office Insider builds from the Mac App Store?

    No. The Office apps in the Mac App Store are production releases. Insider builds must be downloaded directly from Microsoft.

  8. How do I cancel my Office 365 free trial that I purchased through the Mac App Store?

    To cancel your Office 365 free trial that you purchased through the Mac or iOS App Store, follow the instructions on this page: View, change, or cancel your subscriptions.
