Microsoft Word for iPhone

I read on www.macrumors that Microsoft released iPhone versions of Word and Excel. I decided to give the Word app a try. To my surprise, I haven't found any unlabeled buttons. VoiceOver hints are pretty well done. Has anyone else given this app a try? It can even save and open files from dropbox. I'm quite impressed with this version and hope it is a good sign to come for the Mac version of Microsoft office. Of course, O won't be holding my breath.

I imagine Microsoft Office isn't cheap on the iPhone. Thanks.

Actually, it is free. You have to log in using a Microsoft account though. It had been forever since I used my Microsoft account and I had to reset my password. Even the steps to create a new password was accessible including the audio captcha.

Hello,
If you have an Office 365 account, you actually can get unlimited OneDrive storage, for your Microsoft Office files, and pretty much any other file you wish to save on the cloud. I think its a good Dropbox alternative.

I used to be able to use Word on my iPphone, but now I can't even figure out how to get into the edit area and enter text using a blue tooth keyboard and VoiceOver. Any suggestions?
