Office for iPad slow typing

I have created several documents in the desktop version off Office 365 and would like to be able to edit them on my ipad.  I've noticed that typing in these documents is unacceptably slow.  I've tried switching compatibility mode on the desktop, but to no avail.  Any thoughts??

    I am having exactly the same problem.

    I have an ipad 3, and the typing in tables is ridiculously slow in word. 

    there is at least a 30 to 40 second lag.

    I might have to cancel my subscription and go back to pages if this persists.

    Same problem here. There is about a third of a second delay between typing each character in word. 

    This is unacceptable. I feel like I have wasted my money for an Office 356 subscription because I bought it just to use Word on my iPad Mini but the lag makes the ipad version useless!

    Have you considered using OneNote? OneNote is much better suited for quick documents like meeting minutes. Then from OneNote you can export to a MS Word file.
