Office for iPad slow typing

I'll wait and see what responses you get (as I don't use the Word app much these days).

I see there has been a recent update to Word on itunes.  Just installed it and the lag seems to have gone.  Anyone else tried this yet and what was finding?

Define 'soon' - MS definition must be somewhat different from normal - more like 'never'.  Head.....brick wall......?!  Am amused (NOT) when MS ask for comments on Word app!

I now do all tables on Excel app - no typing lag on Excel.

Have been having exactly the same problems.  I hope Microsoft fix this soon, esp.  as this happens in 365, not just on the free versions of Office.

I have the same problem exacerbated by the first letter of a sentence often repeating (eg rrepeating). I tried the reset suggestion but with little or no impact. It is incredibly frustrating!!  We need an answer.

Adding my name to the masses. I have had nearly every problem listed on this thread, and I've been using Word for the iPad for exactly two days. I've only been attempting to edit one document - a 5-page, text only, nothing fancy, boring old document. As soon as I hit page 5, it went from working fine to totally laggy and impossible to add more text. Issues included the weird letter-repeating problem MikeMcCarthy51 mentions. 

A few of the work-arounds listed here seem to work, albeit minimally. Making the file available locally seemed to make a tiny difference (though not enough to make editing the file a pleasant experience). Changing the font from Calibri to Times New Roman made the biggest difference, and I can actually seem to add text without a lag now. We'll see what happens when I hit page 6 though...

I will say this: I am relieved to know I'm not the only one. I was sure it had to be my iPad, which I recently purchased refurbished.
