There is a version of Office for the Surface RT, (not surprisingly) called Office RT. It is a version which was prepared specifically for that class of devices. I believe that it runs only on Windows RT, however.

Install Office on your Surface Pro just as you would on any Windows machine. Note it must be a Surface Pro. I do not believe Office can be installed on the Surface RT.

If you already own MS Office and this is the only device you will install it on, you have two methods.The first is to attach a USB optical disk reader via the USB port, and then simply install from the Office disk.Or, you can go to the Microsoft Store and use the Serial Number from your Office disk to get a free download of the application over the Web. You then simply run the installation of the downloaded application.

Again you can install QuickBooks on the Surface Pro but not on the Surface RT.

The Surface Pro will run the PC (Laptop) version of Microsoft Office 13, and you can install it by copying the original disk files over to a folder you create on your Surface Pro. Then go to that folder and click the install application.

You can install any compatible version of office. Also, 2013 and 365 are the same product. Only difference is that 365 is subscription based and includes 1TB of OneDrive storage. That said, IMHO office 365 is a great deal. Being able to keep all your important files backed up automatically just by saving to the OneDrive folder is a huge peace of mind :)

When I bought mine, it did not come with Microsoft Office, which is the software I think you are referring to. It is easy to get Office on-line with a simple download.

Mine didn't come with Microsoft Office pre-installed. It wasn't important to me since I can get the software through work for fairly cheap. Thanks!

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.

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.

You need to buy an office suite unless you get OpenOffice or Libre Office, both of which are free downloads and work well.

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.

My computer did not come with Microsoft Office. You will get a free trial, but will have to purchase Office to keep it. I hope this helps.

You can buy software online and download it. Even when I got a good price on Office 2007 on CD it also came with a key to download it. But I bought an external drive anyway to watch DVD's.

Yes, you can install Word/Excel and run these on this computer just fine (I use it all the time)--it'll install to the desktop of Windows 8.

It come with a limited version. I loaded OpenOffice. It's free and works with all MS apps.

MS Office was not included when I bought it. It had some generic Asus software, I believe. It's been a while and I've uninstalled most of the software it came with and installed MS Office.

You can use Google Docs/drive and Quickoffice. You can also use the web versions of word. So you can't exactly install Microsoft word like on windows but you can use similar programs or the web version of word. I use Google docs even on my desktop, it sync accross all my devices...So I see no need to use word anymore.

Yes, you will have to buy and install Word, Excel, and/or any other software applications you plan to use. This PC comes with a Windows Operating System installed, but a Windows Operating System does not include Microsoft Office Applications like Word and Excel.
