If you really cant give up that ghost, Documents To Go makes it possible to view, edit, and create Word and Excel files from your iPhone or iPad.

Microsoft has even provided its Office Suite for our benefit.

There are also many different apps that make it possible for you to access and edit your productivity documents and share them with others.

The App Store has hundreds of productivity apps that will make your working life easy.

Here is a list of our favorite apps for creating, editing, and sharing documents on the go.

Word and Excel Microsoft used to have the market on productivity apps.

Because of the saturation, many of us are just used to the productivity suite and want to keep with the status quo, which is why it was a pleasant surprise when Microsoft finally launched these apps on iOS.

You can create and edit documents using the familiar tools of the desktop versions, but with special care and attention paid to use of the mobile screen.

Pages and Numbers You cant talk about Microsofts productivity suite without mentioning Apples version, especially on a website that covers Apple products almost exclusively.

Apples version is tied more directly to the iOS ecosystem, and is therefore better for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users.

You can create and edit documents and take advantage of advanced editing tools, like tracking changes, adding comments, and highlights.

Your projects are saved in iCloud and you can access them from any iOS device, as well as Mac or PC, via iCloud Drive.

Pages and Numbers both cost 9.99.

Google Drive Google has permeated our everyday lives.

There was a time when you needed an invitation to get a Gmail account.

And, with it comes Google, which gives users access to the cloud-based document creation services, Google Drive.

With the iOS app, you can access all of your files in Drive, including photos, videos, PDFs, spreadsheets, and more.

You can also set permission parameters and share your files with others right from the app.

All of your work is saved automatically and backed up in Googles cloud, so youll never lose your edits.

Notability Whether you are sitting in the classroom and listening to a lecture on sixteenth century literature, or meeting with your team for a brainstorming session at work, there is no better way to take notes than with this multipurpose app.

You can create documents, mark up PDFs, record lectures, tag files, organize notes and save all of your notes in iCloud for easy access anywhere.

This app is available for 5.99.

Documents 5 With this file-sharing app you can see your Office documents, read and annotate PDF files, search keywords in documents and edit Text files.

You can also view photos, watch movies offline, and listen to music.

If you are working on documents with a coworker, partner or friend, share files in Dropbox, Google Drive, and more.

Docs To Go Premium Even though there are hundreds of productivity apps that work just as good as Microsofts popular Office Suite (some may even say better than), there are still thousands of people who rely on the program in their daily life.
