No Office of any type on it. Also I'd advise against buying this as my son broke his screen and Pyle won't repair it or even sell me a replacement screen. So it's basically a paperweight now. Very poor customer service there.

No it`s not pre installed but can be downloaded from the Google playstore which is pre-installed.

good morning .. a target pleasure! my name is jhonnger. Look at the table is a good brand and is quick especially for systems like office, adobe, and surfing the internet. bad but mine came from usa. I live in Venezuela and I've been trying to repair calamities. No good battery and android 4.0.3 step system that she brings is lock and I can not get into the tablet itself. but if it's good anyway well see in the store that you see! pleased and happy day

No, this does not have office pre-installed. It has the option for Google Docs, a free alternative and office can be purchased.

Office is not pre-installed. In my opinion, this is a budget-level, starter tablet. It is a good value for the price, but it is limited, and not what I would want to start college with.

Ok thank you! Very helpful. It's not that I "must" have ms office it's that I want my teen to be able to create her resume on it in a format that is accepted/viewable by the employers that she submits it to. Not sure if those Android apps work well for this type of thing?

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.

I used 'Quick Office', which you can now find for free in the Google play store. I also use Google Drive, which has office featurea. BUT I MUST CUTION YOU. Before purchasing an ACER tablet, PLEASE check the forums. The Acer A500 is notorious for dying. Without warning, it freezes on te start screen and stops working. I would choose another product. Try Samsung, Nexus, or Asus. Do your homework before buying any electronics. CNET. Com is a good resource.

I can tell you that my Mac came with MS Office installed, as well as several other tools. These are refurbished computers, so a lot may depend on what the previous owner had installed in terms of software. It might be wise to send contact the seller and request that if you purchase, it come loaded with MS Office, if that is important.

Good Day Annie, I can not recall the word processing programs that were pre-installed on this device. I purchased it as a gift along with the keyboard (for 7 inch tablets). I, personally did not use this tablet at all. However, I did have to return it, it just stopped working out of no where after only using it. It started blacking-out in the middle of usage. I ended up purchasing a Google Nextbook from Walmart (with a 2 year warranty) in July & have not had one complaint! #knockonwood

It's o.k. for High School, but it's not as mobile as a lap top or tablet. Also does not have a battery so it has to be plugged in all the time. O.K. if it's going to sit on your desk at home. I'd check out laptops or tablets.

Although it is a great tool, most schools with a Photography Dept. have a computer Lab with all the necessary equipment. I currently have a 12x18 Wacom 4. It is a great piece of gear, but does take up a lot of space on the desk. Before purchasing the tablet, try to find out what resources she has for doing her work currently. The Wacom tablet might be a better gift for graduation. In addition, the tablet is really just another version of a mouse...it operates with a 'pen' and has more sensitivity. To really do high end photo editing or more precisely photo manipulation, you need to have Adobe Photoshop installed. This program has all the filters and features to do just that. Good luck.

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.

Nope. I would not recommend buying it anyway. Ours broke already, battery does not last at all, memory is very small, you barely can install any applications on it, I think this is why the tablet did not come pre-installed as advertized. I tried contacting the seller via email when the tablet arrived to inquire about the applications not being pre-installed as advertized, not answer whatsoever. I would say look for something else from a different seller.

It could be a good highschool laptop - the price is excellent. You would need to purchase Microsoft office 365 to get Word, Power Point, Excel. It is a big screen - 15.6 inches wide - but not heavy. Could go in your backpack to school with you. Good battery life. Hope that helps...

Hi, AJRunner,Do you have any idea when new Samsung TAb 8.9 comes out? I still feel that 10" tab is to big and to heavy as portable device so I hope that Samsung will make 8.9 Tab that will be not as heavy and thick as, say, ACER iconia 500 or Motorola Xzoom that are too thick and heavy in my view. If so, I may go with it. Do you know release date and features of Samsung 8.9 Tab?Thanks

It comes with MS Home & Student 2013 preinstalled. When I purchased mine in February 2014, the trial version was installed, but a certificate with a registration key was in the box to upgrade to the full version. This version of Office includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and One Note. It does not include MS Access.

With two in college, I would say that these units would definitly do the job, as tablets ...especially with the USB port for an add-on keyboard. In the classroom the tablet works best, but I got laptops for my son and daughter because they also needed compose papers, and such outside the classroom with a keyboard and mouse. If you go with a tablet I would not go any smaller than a 10 inch.

Hi Sandy, My Acer came preloaded with a trial of Office. Once the trial is up you can purchase the full version. Is there a Microsoft application in particular that you are looking for? Let me know, I can check to see if it came on mine. I have been super happy with my Acer. It gets heavy use as my "office."

Surface Pro 2 runs Office 2013 Home and Student very well. This includes word and excel, as well as other programs. I think it would also handle the more complete Office programs just as well.

Yes a middle schooler can use this like any other PC. The Surface was built for the future and the whole line up beats out the iPad and Android tablets IMHO. Microsoft announced the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 with all new accessories. The touch keyboard went from 80 sensors to 1092 yes 1,092 sensors and it has back lighting too. I would not purchase this one but order the new devices and accessories.
