Office for iPad slow typing

This fix has worked for me and resolved almost all of the lag issues.

Go to Settings > Word > Reset Word > select the option to Clear All Documents.

Okay... followed the advice you've given, thank you, but couldn't tell you if it works because every time I reopen Word afterwards it turns that setting back off!!!!

That is normal, after clearing the documents initially the typing lag should be fixed and you should only have to clear the documents if the lag starts happening again, not every time you use the app.

Thank you Client Services - (so far!) it does what it said on your tin!!  Clearly you should be on MS's team - your solution (which even I managed to apply successfully) is obviously something beyond the grasp of the (supposed) experts! - or perhaps helping out customers isn't in their remit!!

I am inclined to think the latter :) The customer support is seriously lacking for an industry leader. Glad I was able to help out!

Just bought a year of Office 365, and am editing my first document.  The lag is AMAZING.  MSFT, please fix this ASAP.

Don't hold your breath Joseph Cutler... MS are well aware of this problem and have issued numerous updates since they became aware of it yet they have done nothing to address it.

Just a total joke.

They've got your money now, they aren't interested in solving your problems.
