Because you cannot use Open Office on the iPad. To create, readn and edit word, excel and powerpoint files you need to buy Keynote, Numbers, Pages apps from App Store for $12.99 each. Another option is to buy a remote desktop application to connect to your PC and use the software from there.

The iPad only runs compatible "apps" and there is no OpenOffice iPad app at the moment.

You have to download an app for documents like Open Office to download and open on your iPad. Safari won't let you download certain files from the internet. Apps like Downloads HD are one of those apps that lets you download almost anything from your iPad and open it from within the app or from another app that can open that file you downloaded.

I have a iPad Pro and my screen has changed from a full screen to one that us 1/2 full what is my problem

How to Turn Off Split Screen on iPad Split View is enabled by default on the iPad. To utilize the feature, you can drag an app from your dock to the right or left edge of your screen to open the app on a portion of the screen. If you have multiple apps open and want to close one without turning off the Split Screen or Multitasking functions in settings, you can return to a full-screen view of a single app by dragging the edge of the app you want to remove to the edge of the screen.

If, however, by "getting rid of split screen on iPad" you mean turning the feature off completely, that's something you can do in Settings. To turn off split screen on the iPad:
  • Open the Settings app on your iPad.
  • Tap General.
  • Select Multitasking & Dock.
  • Toggle off Allow Multiple Apps.
How to Get Rid of Split Screen in Safari on iPad Using split screen in Safari on iPad was a new multitasking feature for iOS 10 that continues in iOS 12. This allows you to open two separate Safari web pages simultaneously on your iPad. To start, open Safari on the iPad. You can then open a second Safari tab in split screen in one of four ways:
  • Tap and hold a link; select Open in Split View.
  • Tap Command+N on an external hardware keyboard to invoke Split View.
  • Drag a tab from its space to either the left or right side of the screen to open it in split screen.
  • Tap and hold the icon that opens your tabs view in Safari. It looks like two overlapping squares. When you tap and hold, options will pop-up. Select Open Split View.
But what if you want to get rid of split screen in Safari? What if you're done using the two tabs-how do you turn split screen on the iPad off? To close split screen in Safari on your iPad, you can do one of the following things:
  • Drag the tab(s) from one of the screens to the other. Once the last tab has been dragged to the opposite side, Safari will return to full screen, which will turn off split screen.
  • Or, you can tap and hold the tabs icon, which looks like two overlapping squares. Then select Merge All Tabs. This will merge all your Safari tabs back into a single window, which gets rid of split screen.

Wont Open attachments on galaxy 3 10.1

Depends on the attachment. You might not have an app that is compatible with the document type you are trying to open. Assuming you are opening a PDF file, you might need to install an office suite app first, such as WPS Office or Quickoffice. Without more details, I can't be specific.

Safari will not allow download of apps on Ipad

The authorised way of downloading apps on the ipad is via the app store. Go to the app store and find the apps using the search facillity that you are trying to download via safari and they will instal properly. You must remember that safari is not really a fully functional browser as it would be on a desktop machine. You will not be able to download things like flash games or use flash enhanced websites. Hope this helps.

How can I download .exe files onto my iPad Safari keeps saying it cannot download file

.exe files are Microsoft Windows Executable files, that can only run on Microsoft Windows. They cannot be run on the iPad, so Safari doesn't download them.
The place to get apps for the iPad is the App Store - have a search, there'll probably be something that can do what you need. Out of interest, what are you trying to do? I may be able to suggest an app.
Hope that helped!
