We bought this for a college student in Ghana, West Africa, so we can't answer any question ever on this tablet. We never used it.

I've never been able to load to it. It's a simple word processor like "notepad" (it's only got rudimentary stuff like create and export). Editing (on a four sentence old school display) is virtually impossible. That's why it's mostly used as a fast drafting tool.

while I don't own this specific model, as far as I can tell it all depends on the programs you own, i myself use Microsoft One Note which works flawlessly with the tablet. The major issue with getting this computer is if you have an actual use for the touch screen. I'm learning a new language and the writing is simplified with the use of a tablet, It makes learning the new language several times easier. a) On the touch screens I've used, No you don't need alot of pressure. b) With good programs you can leave the handwriting as your own and read it digitally. Otherwise, It is a software limitation to recognize your handwriting and convert it into printed font. c) Again, Software issue, With One Note it is as simple as selecting the eraser and erasing. d) Well, its quite different, the feel is different on its on, you don't have the adhesion you want, and in certain cases, if you have "lag" your writing comes up after you actually passed the area (a slight delay when the writing actually shows up.) Well it is a lot easier to erase, and you dont have any eraser left overs after erasing. Hope it helps "Bones"

Those are not good for note taking. You have to press really hard to write your notes. Plus there is no right software for it

No microsoft word. But you can use the google docs that is on the chrome os. Also there are free apps in the chrome web store that have MS Word but i have never tried it. I dont' think you can download things to the Chromebook as a separately, only what's on the chrome web store which the MS word is free. Hope this was helpful.

There is polaris office that comes with the tablet, you can also use documents to go or quick office by google. All are compatible with MS office!

don't think you can write on the Notes app only type. You can get an app like WritePad that let's you right. I haven't had any problems with these on any of the apps I have that are specifically made for writing or drawing.

Yes. I use it for note taking all the time. I use Papyrus instead of the native handwriting app as I find it a much better experience. I then export into Evernote for additional organization.

Hi. This device came with QuickOffice software, or you can install it free from from Google Play. With QuickOffice you can open Word documents and read/edit it on the tablet. Regards

It has Polaris Office stock, but you may be interested in this: http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-office-coming-to-android-and-apple-devices-in-early-2013-7000005563/ I believe you can create docs with the tablet and save them in .DOC format for reading on a real PC, if that is what you need to do. That would be adequate for classroom notes and such, but if you are creating term papers and the like, I'd stick with the netbook.

No and Yes!!! Automatically out of the box...no. It can read them and edit very little straight out of the box. HOWEVER, a free program from the Mobil Market called Kingsoft Office is fantastic. It opens Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and it will also create those. Now, the formatting is not as extensive as full blown office...but it is great otherwise. I had about 20 minutes before church got started last night and I had an idea of a subject I wanted to teach on in the up coming weeks...I pulled out my tablet and started a new Word document and started typing an outline. I do suggest purchasing the "SANOXY Keyboard Case with Stylus Pen for 10inch Superpad/Flytouch Android Tablet PC" from Amazon...it is WELL worth the money. It gives you the ability to plug in an actual keyboard to use when you want to work primarily in Word and Excel!!

I have not used it for that. I would think you can get a much cheaper stylus for note taking.

Yes, you can write note on this one. You will have to download Samsung note as soon as you get it with a few other updates. Additionally, you can download other note apps through the Windows store. You will be good and it has the pen.

I do have the full version of Acrobat and Foxit, both of which I can use on my current laptop to highlight or mark up the text. Was curious if I'll be able to do the same with the touch tablet.

This is an Android tablet so it does not run Microsoft Windows nor Office applications; however it does come with the free versions of the "Documents To Go" app for viewing such documents. In order to edit those documents you will need to buy the full version of this app for about $15. If editing and creating Microsoft documents is a primary reason you are thinking of purchasing a tablet, I would recommend checking out the Asus Transformer Book T100 with comes with Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. The Windows tablets are still way short on apps compared to Android tablets, but they are starting to make strides in that area.

It has the ability to have MS office on it, or a less aggressive free program call open office, which you can get on the internet. Either of those would work really well for taking notes. It is absolutely perfect for taking notes. You will want to keep in mind that it is a smaller keyboard because it's a netbook. But if you have average sized hands, you shouldn't have any trouble. I really like mine, but my hands are just too big.
