What is the best Microsoft program to run Word/Exel etc. on the Surface Pro 2?

Given how powerful it is, I doubt there is much you can't do with it. I read an article in a gaming magazine that rated it...and while it is not a gaming machine...most notably it's size, it still runs them quite well, though maybe not at all the very high end graphics. If it can do that, I would not worry about any office type programs you could throw at it.

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.

The surface pro 2 runs all programs that any normal computer can. It's powerful enough to run photoshop, illustrator and even zbrush, new PC games too like: skyrim, borderlands 2. So MS word/excel aren't going to strain this thing.

I am using "Microsoft Office Professional 2013" and it is working great. I am very happy with it. It even let you use the Pen Tool for drawing or signatures within Microsoft Word. It can handle any latest version of Microsoft Office as of now so I don't think you have to worry about it. Just buy the one you can afford and make sure the features you will be using the most are enabled in that version.

I use it with my Surface Pro 2. I had to download software to run it but it works just fine.

Word and Excel and Access are all in this package. Other things also. I have been pleased with the performance.

Yes, it runs just like a laptop or desktop so you can install MS Office but only by a download, i would recommend getting the Bluetooth keyboard if you plan on doing a lot of word processing.

Unfortunately, the computer comes with free trials for Microsoft & some other software. My wife & I bought & downloaded it through Microsoft directly. It runs great on the computer !

I have used open office and it's okay but I prefer kingsoft office. But they both will work on the galaxy tab 2.

Word starter and Excel starter. It's not the trial version. You need to purchase Office 2010 to have all the options activated in these soft-wares.

Go to the desktop (lowest left hand corner tile) and you should find a link of MSOffice which will let you install a trial version. After the 60 days or so you will need to buy one.If you do not see the link, you can go online and google search word and find a trial version that way. In the mean time shop around for the best deal on Office.

Yes; I have installed it on my Surface Pro 3 that runs Win 8; no problems. The problem is with MSP 2007: you cannot run it on a Win 8 machine.

From the specs, Microsoft Office (Word) is not installed but you can get the Mac version at a very reasonable price and there are a few free compatible packages available. See http://www.openoffice.org/

I'm sorry to report most of them are rebuilt therefore instead of XP Pro, they have Windows 7. I can highly recommend a word processor that is on the same standard of Word and can export import (almost seamlessly from word). They are "Libre Office and Apache Open Office". Libre Office loads quicker and has quicker response time w/o the hang up that plagues office 2007. the best qualification is they're free and no nagware. My personal choice is Private Firewall, take out windows defender from start up and go with AVAST or AVG. they are on par with paid version. I would buy a rebuilt or reconditioned as the original production run is plague with problems that a rebuilt system has rectified. BY A COOLING PAD FOR IT. Part of the problem is overheat. It is older, very reliable as a reconditioned/rebuilt, rugged, fast. It is duel core. Again Cooling pad and the 2 word processors I mentioned are free. they are so good you can desk top publish with them. The adequate word processing is usually word pad, Jarte, Q Jot, etc. Buy it if it's under 200.00 Go with 4 stars or better.

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.

There are at least two very good, free, open source word processors I can recommend. One is Abiword, a dedicated word processor. The other is Libre Office (also available as "Open Office"), which is a free MS Office like package including a spreadsheet program (like Excel) a presentation program (like PowerPoint) and others - all compatible with MS Office files. Search for the programs using Google and download and install what you want.
