iCloud Drive and Editors

Hi Donna, We had discussed this regarding rtf editors and iCloud Drive. I am finally getting around to working on this. On the iPad I can find any file using the Files app. But how then would I edit a file using say, TextEditor or Voice Dream Writer? On the other hand, if I open either

Hi, When you are reading the document within the Files app, you should have a Share button down near the bottom of the screen. Double-tap that and send it to the app you wish to edit it in. Later... Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech Apple Teacher (with Swift Playgrounds Recognition) Fort McMur

Kawal, First off, make sure that when you try to type something, you are interacting with the text. Press dots 2+3+6+ space, that gets you into the text, and then dots 3+5+6+ space to stop interacting. Then, go to the VO Utility, select Braille, then the Displays tab. Once there, there’s a butt
