Using a word processor app on Iphone 6 and Orbit reader 20 Braille display

Braille on Apple Products

Hi to everyone,
I am new to this forum so sorry if this has been discussed before.
I am a fairly new IPhone user and due to the fact that I have limited manual dexterity I use an Orbit reader to control my I phone.
Now, I want to make myself a diary of what I am doing and where as I struggle to use Seri and the calendar app with my braille display, so I would like a word processor of some sort, that would allow me to save the document in Drop box and edit it on the iPhone add events ETC.
Equally, I would like to be able to view it on my windows PC with JFW ideally I want the document to sink between PC and phone.
However, I have searched high and low on here and cannot find any word processing apps that work with Braille and that would do the job.
I have just managed to create a pages document and save it as a MS word doc but I can't open it in drop box using pages app (I gather MS word app isn't great with Braille)
Finally how do you insert heading levels into a pages doc using a braille display?
Many thanks to all in advance
Kind regards
Chantal

Orbit recognizes text files. You can use dropbox to save text files so they become visible on iPhone and on your Windows pc.

Hi Justin,
Very good idea but have already tried this and have found two problens:
1. There's only a limited amout of lines you can type on the Orbit reader within a text files.
2. My windows pc isn't preserving line breaks even though I'm pressing new line and my word wrap is turned on.
finally does anyone know how to open word docs on pages using the Orbit reader please?
Many thanks
