A:Answer Hi, Librarygal.
Yes, iPads come with a virtual onscreen keyboard that appear automatically whenever you are filling in a field on a form, for instance, or writing an e mail or document, etc. It takes a little getting used to; I frequently will miss the space bar and hit the letter “m” or “n” or the comma by mistake, then have to go back and correct stuff; neverthelesss, the keyboard IS there, so you don’t have to purchase an external one to enjoy all the capabilities of your iPad.
