Is there a simple word processor (like MS Word) that I can use for this? All I need is a basic tablet to bring to school and type on. Nothing fancy.

Yes! QuickOffice is loaded on mine and is available for download from the Play Apps downloader that comes loaded on your Dell Tablet. QuickOffice has QuickWord, QuickSheet, QuickPoint and QuickPDF Viewer so you should be able to do anything you need to do. It works great!

Negative, Word is not listed in the apps. I guess you could find and download some free facsimile, then to I don't know what the memory requirements for that would be.

Yes, you can. There are a number of online word processors to choose from, but my favorite is Google's own Docs. It has tools for headings and footnotes that are flexible and very easy to use.

Consider switching to Open Office. Its free! Plus it can read MS office documents. In the "save as" options you can even save your Open Office doc as a MS doc. Just a suggestion from someone staggered by the price of office.

you can use google docs to type (it feels nearly identical to microsoft word), just go to google drive, click create, and click documents, and you can print anything just like you would on a pc or mac just hit CTRL P. Hope this helps :)

No, just the basics; Note One and Word. Actually this computer was my wife's purchase, and she regrets buying it now. It is much too sensitive to touch, and the keyboard is very hard to get connected to the tablet, and keeps coming loose. Would look for something else.

I'm a grad student as well. I purchased office from amazon when I purchased the computer. This computer does everything I need to it for school. It's fast and reliable. I'm so happy I bought it.

This is a good all purpose laptop, remember though, you would need to add your own word processor and other office (school) tools. OpenOffice (openoffice.org) is very good and there are other free ones as good as MS Office. I agree it is a bit large, but you get a numeric keypad if that's a plus for you.

The Eee PC does not have MS Word right out of the box. You must go install it. It does have MS Works, which has a word processor, but its not as powerful as Word.

Absolutely perfect for school - Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, OneNote, Excel and PowerPoint) are included at no charge and update to the most current version. OneNote is perfect for all your drafts and class notes! Everything can be set to save automatically to the cloud (OneDrive) whenever you're on WiFi. All of your research and class needs should be met. There are free apps for Adobe Acrobat (PDF) and PDF markup. And there are a variety of fun & useful apps.

You can use Word equivalent off google-play, but I am not sure whether they would be literal equivalents of MS Office.

It is faster than I expected. The time it takes to turn on and shutdown surprised me. As for using it for homework, it should do you fine. I use word, excel and one note and have been pleased so far.

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I am a special education teacher and was thinking about taking the iPad to iep meetings, but did not want to take notes on the built-in, nor do I want to write reports on this thing. The keyboard would make it easier to type anything of length, and now I am pretty are that I will give it a try....thanks again for helping out!

The word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation programs are the same. There are other added features, but unless you are doing some database stuff or epublishing, the standard should do just fine.

If you have any experience with a computer "Word" program you should be able to figure out this handheld device. It really is no different than using a computer keyboard or a smartphone.
