Putting Office on Wind U100-641US Whats the easiest way to install MS Office on a Wind machine? I have it on CD, but no external CD drive to install with.Thanks!

You can download the software from Microsoft and use the key that came with your disk. I happened to own a Sony DVDirect drive that I am using as an external drive for my MSI. If I wanted to, I could also set up another of my computers to share its drive over my network. Lastly, portable USB dvd drives are pretty cheap now and work really well with the MSI.

I used my desktop computer to copy the files from the Office install cd onto a flash drive. then used the flash drive to install Office onto the Wind. No problems--just open the setup.exe file.

Neither. Return the product and then download a free Home/Office suite. Most like Micros soft office. WPS office suite. (was Kingsoft Office.) Free. I have the MS paid Version and I do not use it anymore. More often than not, when I do try to use it, it does not work!

True, Maduranga brings up a good issue. You could buy office 2010 from the web and install it from the web download. or you could try copying all of the info from an office 2010 disc with another computer onto a usb drive as files, or as an image, and see if you can install from them. Worst case senario, you can borrow someone's usb cd\dvd drive and install everything on discs through it, or buy one, use it, and keep or return it.

You say "That would take some work, but can be done." How much work? Do you have any tips?(I plan to use MS office with WinXP on my new 8G EEE)

My HP Pavilion came with WinXP installed. But no Microsoft Office products such as Word. WinXP works with Office but you would have to get a copywith the key code to enable it.

yes and no. Yes you can install it, but depending what kind of license you bought with MS Office 2010, it might now allow you to activate it because you have used up the cd-key (license) on previous PCs you have installed it on. Most standard licenses allows you to install it on 2 PCs. If you ever do run into the issue, just call Microsoft activation team and they usually activate (but deactivates other PCs that has it installed)

My wife uses the product at her workplace. She says that the option is given at setup on which program you want it to interface with...MS Office is one choice. I don't know how well it works with Office.

No MS Office cannot be installed. In fact this version of Windows was intended for mobile devices and is no longer supported, It is a good product for playing around with and maybe porting Android, but if you want something to run windows you are better off with an used laptop.

360 for a trial period. The new Microsoft Office can only be downloaded, no disks. I found Office 10 on Amazon and installed it. It works really well and I do not have to pay every year to use the office programs.

I installed Microsoft works suite 2006 on a desktop with win 7 and laptop with win 8 with upgrade to win 8.1.Both worked fine and gave me back the old version om Microsoft Word. Some items I deleted after install.

Microsoft's Office with "Word" has never been included with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is purchased individually as a separate product. Back 2 or 3 years ago MS office was included in most new laptop and PC purchases but this has also stopped being true. What most new laptops and PC's offer is Microsoft Office starter. This is a reduced functionality Word and Excel with advertising. Pretty much useless. There is "Open Office" which is free, fully functional and compatible to Microsoft office. Just Google around for it, you'll find it. There is also Google business apps which is finally beginning to cut into Microsoft's market share, however... it is cheap, but not free. Good Luck!

Yes, the LED screen is adjustable. Not sure if its lowest setting is dim enough for you.I run Word & Excel 2003 just fine. The Wind comes with Office 2007 60 day trial installed, activate it and you are fine. To install software from CDs, read this: http://forums.msiwind.net/post18988.htmlThe Wind has 3 USB ports, you can easily use another keyboard (I use a Logitech)

Try plugging your MSI Wind to an External monitor. Set the resolution on the external monitor and install (make sure the LCD screen on the Wind is off) When you're finished with installing, try running the program on the Wind. just a thought.

Sadly it's for only one computer. I had to jump through a few hoops just to reinstall it when my computer crashed . I should have bought MS Office Bussiness version to begin with instead of the Home/Student version.

D. Howard is right. I've used Open Office on my NC10 and it's great.I don't think you'll miss MS Office.Bob H

Jags2483,The system does not ship with Microsoft Office installed. Taking into account that not only are there multiple versions of Office, but also that not everyone needs Office, by not forcing a particular version via pre-installation, we allow the end user to decide which option is best for them.

Either, depending on the OS. It works equally awful if you use MS Office. Use Open Office and it actually runs well.
