1) Alternate versions of a character become available if you keep it pressed. For example, if you keep A pressed, then you will see options for Ã, Ä, Å etc.
2) Effect of special keys such as Shift, Num-lock can be achieved in a single move if you press the key and then slide to the next key you would have otherwise pressed.
press Shift key and in the same move slide to 'a' and it would be typed as A
press Number key (Number keyboard will be shown) and in the same move slide to desired number, and that number will be typed.

3) Instead of putting a full-stop and then space, just press space-bar twice. That would take care of full-stop and space.
4) Usual MS-Office trick. Most often used word combinations, contractions, small-caps casing etc. will be automatically handled by the iPad.
Type Im and it will become I'm, theyre, and it will become they're.
Type ipad and it will become iPad.
5) Pretty often the iPad will correct spellings or suggest the word based on initial few characters. Pressing space-bar on seeing such suggestions will type that complete word. You can also tap on the suggested word. Removing the suggestion is bit tricky- there is a little 'x' mark beside the suggested word, that should be tapped upon.
