Hi Merv, On your iPad If you do not want the attachment to open in Quick Look, just tap and hold your finger on the attachment. A pop-up menu will appear with a number of button options.
Tapping on ‘Quick Look’ will open the file in the standard viewer. Tap on ‘Open In “app name” to open the attachment in a pre-selected other app. Tapping on ‘Open In…’ will show you a new menu with buttons. Each button has an apps icon and name next to it. Tap on a button to open the attachment in the required app. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 17/02/2013, at 8:24 PM, Merv Bond <m...@iinet.net.au> wrote: > I created a document in Pages and exported it as aWord document to a > colleague for appraisal. > He said he had sent it back with comments, the comments being linked to > the appropriate point of insertion in the text. > I received his response by email and took the email using my iPad 2 (iOS > 5.1.1; Pages 1.7.1).
