Unlike basic text editors that strip away your document's original formatting, Word Editor features a robust preservation engine. It parses and preserves your .docx structure during edits, ensuring that your layout remains intact when shared with others or opened back up on a desktop. KEY FEATURES: DUAL VIEW MODES: Read Mode: View your documents using high-fidelity native system rendering. Perfect for comfortable, distraction-free reading. Edit Mode: Switch with a single tap into an elegant, dark-themed card workspace designed specifically for mobile touchscreens. PRECISE TEXT FORMATTING: Full control over individual text runs. Customize typography: Select custom fonts and adjust text sizing. Apply emphasis: Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikethrough. Vibrant coloring: Choose custom text colors to make headings or critical action items stand out. POWERFUL TABLE EDITING: Ditch clunky desktop interfaces. Tweak and edit tables cell-by-cell inside an interactive, scrollable grid view. Keep track of table dimensions instantly with dynamic row and column counting. CREATE OR IMPORT IN SECONDS: Start from scratch with clean, pre-built templates. Easily import existing .docx files from the Files app, iCloud, or external drives. EFFORTLESS FILE MANAGEMENT: Access recently opened documents instantly from your Home dashboard. Organize your workspace with intuitive iOS gestures—simply swipe a file card to clear it from your recents list. Real-time status badges keep track of paragraph counts, table counts, and unsaved changes. PRIVACY-FIRST & OFFLINE-READY: Your documents are processed completely locally on your device. No cloud uploads, no forced accounts, and absolute privacy. Works 100% offline—draft and edit wherever you go.

About

SumDoc

Features
Read full description

SumDoc opens and edits Word documents on your device. The editor runs on the same native DOCX engine that powers SumOffice on the desktop and on the server — so a document looks and behaves the same wherever you open it. No re-rendering, no drift between what you see on the phone and what your colleague sees on a laptop. WHAT IT DOES • Opens .docx and .docm files — from the Files app, mail, or any app’s “Open in…” • Edits text, applies styles and formatting with the familiar ribbon • Edits pictures: wrap, crop, borders and effects • Keeps the document structure intact — tables, lists, page layout • Built-in assistant: ask how to do something and get the steps, in your language • Report a problem in two taps — your report gets a number and a status right in the app YOUR FILES STAY YOURS Editing happens on the device. Documents are not uploaded anywhere, and the app does not require an account to open a file. Only what you send to support leaves the phone — see the privacy policy. PART OF SUMOFFICE SumOffice is an office suite built around one document engine: the same logic in a desktop application, inside your own product, on a server, and here on the phone. SumSheet is its spreadsheet counterpart. SumOffice is an independent product and is not affiliated with Microsoft.
