The computer actually has Windows 8.1. Much more desktop-friendly than 8, especially when you download the recent update. I work with it almost indistinguishably from the XP experience, only much much faster. And I was able to load the Word 2002 disc I had gotten with my previous computer. All my old word documents are now transferred (through a flash drive) and accessible. And I can create new ones and save them as well. Technically 8.1 does not support Word 2002 but aside from a message to that effect every now and then when I'm saving a doc, everything works seamlessly.

I had to install Microsoft Office separately. There are some applications that were included but since I'm more comfortable with Word, I wanted to continue using those programs for recordkeeping and letter writing.

Can you put a word processor on it? I don't want to do all my writing within google docs.

No, this has it's own version of word, excel and power point that is compatible with the ms versions. Actually works quite nicely. I've downloaded ms stuff and used it, haven't uploaded to my pc and used with ms programs yet Good luck :}

No unfortunately not. It has a wordpad kind of like the ms word starter on windows 7 but it has way less features and is annoying to use. If you want to save money download apache OpenOffice for free. You can save your documents as word files or any type of file really. It has all the features of ms office too. (PowerPoint, excel, etc.)

It has another word program. However I am not sure if it works as well. To be honest with you I barely touch this computer because it's disappointing

The Surface has a full version of Office so you can create word documents. The struggle may come with the keyboard. I have the type cover and it's ok but the Surface's best use is for Skype, surfing, and reading. It has a USB connection so you can connect a keyboard. If you are looking for a device to publish documents you may be better off with an inexpensive laptop. I consider the Surface a toy.

From the specs, Microsoft Office (Word) is not installed but you can get the Mac version at a very reasonable price and there are a few free compatible packages available. See http://www.openoffice.org/

Not exactly. To use MS Office you must activate it (read, pay for it) then it will complete installation and then you can use it.

I have had no issues just using Word and internet. It's ran smoothly. It's just hard to get use to the new operating system.

This chromebook has a own application for word but not compatible with ms office, you may have to get documents to go application, that would help you for processing word document

Yes it can run Microsoft word no problem but it does not come with it. if you already have a valid licence of Word then you can use it on the Surface Pro 2.

Word processor does not come by default. You may need to buy MS office 2010 for document creation needs.
