Can this convert older Microsoft Works documents to Word?

Depends on ho old. I have used it to convert some old stuff and it worked for me. If I had any problem I use some of the support available for my Linux operating system and the vast catalogue of free software available from non Microsoft places. However, I can remember only two times is the year I had to resort to other software help in converting very old stuff..

As far as I know yes... It converts all of my documents from Microsoft word 2010. That's the oldest version I have, use, and know of for sure.

Forget Word, download Libre Office for free instead; it's got all Word/Excel/etc. functionality, can read from and save as MS Office file types, doesn't cost a cent.

Consider switching to Open Office. Its free! Plus it can read MS office documents. In the "save as" options you can even save your Open Office doc as a MS doc. Just a suggestion from someone staggered by the price of office.

A more recent version of OpenOffice might work better. Not sure whether ASUS's repositories offer a more up to date version, though. While OO does a good job dealing with word and powerpoint files in general, compatibility won't be 100%. The word and powerpoint formats are proprietary and closed, OO's ability to read/write those formats is based on guess and reverse engineering. That said, you could try the following workaround: upload the document to docs.google.com (apply for a google account if you don't have one yet) and work the forms online. You can download them back to your computer when finished. Another alternative is to use a "windows emulator" such as Crossover to run MS office under Linux.

WordPerfect Office X7 Standard converts a word document to word perfect, and a word perfect document to word.

You can use Word equivalent off google-play, but I am not sure whether they would be literal equivalents of MS Office.

I am not sure of the correct answer. I moved Word documents written on a Windows ME old computer to an old floppy disk. Then using the LaCie external.drive I downloaded them to my iMac computer operating on the Snow Leopard system. I used a Share-Ware pogrgron called Neo-Office to convert the Word files to the version of Word on my Apple computer. I also transferred Geneology files in the Gedcom format using the LeCie external drive. It worked well also. I did this with the help of the instructors at the Apple Retail Store in Monterey CA.

I haven't tried that, I know I can't save documents on to the machine. You may want to contact WolVol directly. they are very helpful.

you can download an app called Google Docs which seems to work like word, but it will not allow you to run Microsoft products such as office

It also comes free with Works 9.0 (which includes a basic word processor/spreadsheet).Unless you really really need MS Office, OpenOffice can be downloaded free online.

Yes, if you download an app (free). I have one called Documents to Go that works well.

With your word 2003 documents..when you do save as...go to the "save as type"..the drop down menu will give you options on saving your docs.. not sure which ones are on 2003 version but try them all. Then when you get your new version you should be able to open them. Not sure about the other question and the features.

Word processor does not come by default. You may need to buy MS office 2010 for document creation needs.

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.

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.

It has a usable version of word, but I installed a full version of microsoft works and word that I had previously.
