yes and it works fairly well. Word and Excel can also read open office spreadsheets and docs.

Yes it does. To access microsoft word, you must click the icon on the top right corner to open the applications menu and then click on Documents to Go. This app contains Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Microsoft Excel. Click on the cross icon you see on the screen and once you're asked what type of new document to work on, click on Microsoft Word.

Yes, Microsoft Office works with Windows 7. I use excel and word often, and have had no problems.

No. I use free Open Office, and when folks can't open an .odt document, I save it as a free "exported to .pdf" format and re-send it.

It does not work with Microsoft Excel, but I use Kingsoft Office Suite, which is a free software that allows you to read and edit MS Office documents. You can also supposedly create documents, spreadsheets and slide presentations that can be read in Word, Excel and Power Point. They are not 100% compatible, but if you are interested in just being able to read your Excel spreadsheets and perhaps make minor edits, this could be an option for you. If you need 100% compatibility, I'm afraid the Microsoft Surface is your only tablet choice.

I had to purchase Microsoft Word. You can find Open Office for free online but for my online school requirements I purchased the Word, Excel package with powerpoint for less than $200

Full list here. Short answer = no. You know you can get something like Open Office for free and edit word files all you want... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03541370&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_us/c03541370/loc:4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5296985

Yes, you can open and edit Office files, but usually by converting them to a Google Docs format. If you currently have a Google Account, you can use it right now to work on Google Docs. Usually when I get an email with a Word Doc attached, I right click it and tell it to send it to my Google Drive. From this, you can right click and tell it to open as a Google doc. I then work on it as a Google Doc. I sometimes save it in an office format or as a PDF. I also can then send permissions to people who I want to be able to edit or just make it open for everyone. I can send a link or embed the document in an email. I am a reporter for a radio station and use Google for my documents. Almost everything I used to do with Office, I now do with Google. Yes, there are some things I can not do, but this is very rare. I post a newsletter each day and write or edit over 1000 stories a year. I type into Google offline sometimes when I am at a meeting. Like your smartphone, you can find many apps that will enhance your use of the Chromebook.

The Student version of Office 7 is compatible with Windows 8.1. I've been running Word and Excel without a problem on new documents and existing work created under Windows 7.

Just to add to some of the above discussions, have have used Open Office quite a bit on my old school iBook and it works great. Best part...it is compatible with office 2007, able to save and open word documents from this program.

Yes, Peter, it works with MS Win 7. You can read MS Office documents like Word. It can only be seen by Word users in their E-mails IF you save the file in an MS Word format. Unlike MS Word which can't read or save in the WordPerfect file types, WordPerfect can open MS Word documents and save documents in either the WordPerfect file type or the MS Word file types.

No, you have to buy it later. It comes with office trial. Or install openoffice or another free option.

There is an Android App that comes with your tablet. It is called Polaris. You can open Word and Excel with this app and I believe other docs also. I have only used it for Word and Excel. You can't work with the document though. If you can, i don't know that. I have only been able to open, read and save. Hope this helps.
