I just checked again the scenario for Office Automation software on Android - though I do not have the time to also test findings immediately.

And findings are there, because it seems that two applications I overlooked:
-- SmartOffice, from Artifex, still actively developed
and
-- QuickOffice Pro (1997-2014), acquired and then discontinued by Google.

It also seems I did not test Docs to Go for some reason, which I hope was not unnerving - though having so utterly disregarded it to the point of forgetting it is suspicious.

Moreover, there are updates for Mobisystems's OfficeSuite Free and AndrOpen Office, which may fix the malfunctionings experienced. LibreOfficeViewer is still the same version of yore.

Still unavailable, apparently, is what seems to be so purely necessary, and is causing this fecal swamp of having a dozen tools and none: a native Open Source Office Automation for Android, so that if you miss a feature you have it implemented. History is so young, people still so lost in politics and sex.

Incidentally, I will specify the reason why I do not keep faithful and contented with Kingsoft Office 5.x : it misses the [CTRL]+[Arrows] navigation. That remains a big fault.
(And it is one of the reasons why one then tries to use environments like a desktop-OS LibreOffice through tricks like desktop remote sessions on the tablet.)
