You also can try Openoffice.org as a Free solution that I can personally sware by. Maybe after that leap you might even just wanna take the plunge and load the full http://www.eeebuntu.org/ as a second boot option and nail the coffin shut.But yes, if you still have your other install disk of Office that should work. Think it's 3 licensed installs "allowed" (My college offered $100 copy of Office Pro 2007 for students... and I still would rather stick with Openoffice...)My copy of Openoffice was free when I replaced OfficeXP with it instead of getting 2003, and it's still free for the 2007 replacement. So way I see it already this EEE pc was already paid for. You also can try Openoffice.org as a Free solution that I can personally sware by.

No, this does not come with Microsoft Office. You will have to install a valid copy of MS Office. Remember that the OEM copy can be installed on upto 2 computers and the store bought copy can be installed on upto 3 computers. As for installing the DVD disk, see "Loading Programs" on the discussion below.

No, you have to purchase Office separately. We sent it back because the description clearly stated it comes with Office.

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.

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)

No it does not come with MS office..how ever it has a trial version for 60 days.

No, it does not necessarily come with Office installed. I see the other two answers, but Office was not installed on the two I bought, you have to buy the office product once the trial expires. It comes with a link that allows you to download a trial or buy the product. Office 2013, which you'll need for Windows 8, is a bit pricey at $139 for a single user. Unless you need to interact with other Office users in professional relationships I'd try OpenOffice to see if you can get by before buying the Microsoft product. OpenOffice is free, it's not Microsoft Office, but it's free, it's not perfect, but it's not junk. By the way, the Lenovo 36795MU is great, perfect for tossing in the bag and using on the commute.

Not sure if you are still looking for the answer, but for anybody else who is still wondering, Microsoft has updated the licensing (due to numerous complaints) and Amazon has kindly inserted it at the top of the product description: Update: Microsoft updated the Office 2013 license. You may now transfer the software to another computer that belongs to you, but not more than one time every 90 days (except due to hardware failure, in which case you may transfer sooner). If you transfer the software to another computer, that other computer becomes the "licensed computer."

No. Pretty much no computer comes with Office. You need to buy it separately.

It should not have Microsoft office unless it comes with a Key from Microsoft. If it does not it is illegal software and has been hacked.

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!

I've run into this issue when switching to another computer and trying to transfer my MS-Office License over. The key that you have will say that it has already been activated, but all you need to do is call the phone number that is provided, and an automated voice will ask you a few questions like "Is this the only PC that you are installing MS-Office on?" and then it will give you a code to enter (along with your key) which will then allow you to install it. Hope it's not to late for this answer.

No it does not have Microsoft Office preinstalled. Nothing is preinstalled. I bought Office at Costco for about $120.

I read somewhere that you can have a key only if you buy an Office license. The alternative is to uninstall the existing one and download & install a trial version of Office 2007 from Microsoft site. There is another alternative: You can download Office 2010 Beta. For the present it has no limitations and absoutely free, probably till the Beta lasts.

It comes with office 365 loaded. It is a subscription based office. I would recommend open office or star office. If you are set on micrsoft then Google 'home use program' and see if your company participates.

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.

I didn't have MS Office preloaded. The key is for the online download of the product. Just make sure to follow the directions and you will be able to download the full version of MS Office.

No! It is my understanding that you have to purchase the Use of Microsoft Office separately. You never really own the program but instead they will rent it to you for about $10 per month or $100 per year. On your desktop screen you will se the Microsoft Office icon, click on it and it will guide you through the renting process.
