Yes and no, I would cut and paste but it may appear different, [fonts etc..] If you open it in works, it will be in code. Just highlite the text in word, paste it to works.

From the questions you ask about Microsoft Works 9.0 I don't think this is what you are looking for. Microsoft Works is a BASIC do everything package and it is not very useful in anything you asked. It is very limited in the things it does do. It has a lot of templates for people that want something to do basic things for them. The word processor is very basic and helps if you are not a good speller for instance. I found that for things that you call house hold chores that there was nothing that I could uses it for because you had to use something and a format that was chosen by someone that you could not change in any way. I found the data base part of the software to be very useful for my needs and use it very often. I think that you will find that is the case with any "do everything" software. I think in the long run it is best to buy the specific software for each thing you want to do rather than a do all do nothing right package. Harold

Yes, if you download an app (free). I have one called Documents to Go that works well.

Yes; it's a 90 day trial for Office 2012; you must buy the software from the site and its serial from Microsoft themselves. If you can't afford it, check out open-source Office alternatives such as OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice, or even StarOffice. I've had both and they work the same. OpenOffice.org's Writer's popular OpenDocument extension is compatible to Microsoft Word's new "docx" extension.

I would assume so but don't know for sure. As with software you can open documents created in older versions in the newer version but not the other way around. I use the FW or thunderbolt cable. I hope this helps. If not, you may find your answer on their website.

Hi..yes. When my computer deleted the Microsoft Office program after 6 months, I ordered this individual Excel program to be able to read My files and it worked fine. I later ordered the individual MS Word because I did not need all the other programs. Hope this helps.

These unit comes with word pad which can open edit and create docs. However I do not use it as I prefer Openoffice. It also has windows journal which is real handy in tablet mode. I include the portable apps platform with over 100 portable apps for your every need. I also set the unit up with a program that gives the andriod or Ipad or W8 type interface. Very useful in tablet mode.Cheers Robeee Waza4u

Jim, Annoying for sure. However, Pages does readily read/convert Word documents. So simply save your scan as a .doc or .docx and ask Pages to open the Existing Document. Once open you can edit as needed and save it as a Pages document if you want. Hope this is helpful. T

I can't say for sure. I can tell you that this program has been able to open the Presentation documents (wpg) and word perfect documents (wpd) that were made by Corel suite 7 that was built for win95. I used it on win98, which was the last operating system that ver 7 would operate on.

All you would need to do is download the application you want and your good to go. I see there is a one called Documents to go that is compatible it has Word, Powerpoint, and Exel.

I'd say 'yes'. I currently have a Dell PC with Windows 2007 and Office 2007, and when it came time to use files created by Word 2000, there was no problem--it was fairly automatic. At most, you might need to right-click on the file, click on Properties and then Compatibility, but it's been my experience that MS is smarter than most of us, and that it just takes care of that. Boogey on!

My experience has been that it reads everything. The only "issues" are if the file is so old that it was written in some fashion no longer supported by your operating system. This is generally only for applications; at this point, I have had no problems opening any MS-Office files. Craig

Yes, in a couple ways. If you buy a new Mac, then you get Apple's word processor Pages free. You can open Word docs in this and export Pages docs to Word docs, though there are sometimes formatting issues with that. You can also just buy Word for Mac, which is 100% compatible with the PC counterpart

I believe it depends on the version of MS Word that you have. My MS Word on my Macbook Air has Word 2011 and I've been able to open and save documents from a PC that has Word 2003. Where it gets tricky is when you are trying to open a document saved in a version that is more recent that what you have. This is more of an issue of MS Word software and not the computer itself.
