If... You can get the right app to load yes. But good luck finding one with the installed OS. If your savy you can install a new one and get access to the regular app store.

There is an app, office pro, that I use to edit and create documents and spreadsheets that seamlessly interfaces with Microsoft office. $9.99

I had to pay for and download an app that allows editing (the read-only is free) but it is very slow-going. I can't recall the name of the app at this time, but there are very few available for this tablet on GetJar site. I end up using the read-only version most of the time because the edit version is just so slow. The cursor jumps all over on both Word and Excel documents, and I can work faster from my phone. This tablet has become a browser that I can use in the hammock, or the kids will use for Angry Birds. Will not be purchasing another like it.

You may be able to do it if you connect the tablet to a computer. Locate the app in the inside memory and move it to the extsd.There is a way to do it on the tab itself, under MY Files or Explorer and do it there.

Yes, it includes the MS offices with word, excel, powerpoint, onenote, and outlook. BTW, check out the new 8 inch tablet which deserves yournattention on both price and spec. It uses the 4th gen Atom processor with full windows 8.1 and office (home+student). That is a great deal.

I've never been able to load to it. It's a simple word processor like "notepad" (it's only got rudimentary stuff like create and export). Editing (on a four sentence old school display) is virtually impossible. That's why it's mostly used as a fast drafting tool.

No unfortunately not. It has a wordpad kind of like the ms word starter on windows 7 but it has way less features and is annoying to use. If you want to save money download apache OpenOffice for free. You can save your documents as word files or any type of file really. It has all the features of ms office too. (PowerPoint, excel, etc.)

Its opened word docs for me such as resumes from MS word, but I never used it 4 anything else. And I never revised a wors doc on it, but I'm sure it can.

I purchased word and excel when I bought the computer. Apple is not famous for bundling unwanted programs with their hardware. I suspect that MS Word implies DOS, thus unlikely to work on Apple.

Yes, you can install Word/Excel and run these on this computer just fine (I use it all the time)--it'll install to the desktop of Windows 8.

Hi Megan, Playbook 2.0 comes with office-to-go app for word/excel/ppt files. You can even create, edit and view ms office files. It has HDMI port, but you need to buy an adaptor for you to attached to you monitor or tv sets. It has micro-USB port for data transfer (via BB desktop manager) and charging. Though it also has a dedicated charging port if you have a docking station - which is another accessory.

Hello,This tablet is installed with Windows 7 Professional 64bit and is compatible with most recent Microsoft Office Software. Please let us know if that answered your question and if there

Yes. I do photo and video editing on my Surface Pro 3, as well as Painter. The Surface Pen is suh-weeeeet! (I assume you edit with a Wacom already.) This tablet is 64 bit and runs like a true PC. I have the wireless display adapter, so I can use dual monitors wirelessly, which is great for long editing sessions because I can kick back with the tablet and still have my jumbo monitor running. My Surface Pro 3 replaced my aged Toshiba laptop. The thing you have to get used to is: No CD/DVD drive, and limited internal storage.

Posted this in response to another question, but check out and download Libre Office instead: it's free, has complete MS Office functionality including reading from/editing/saving as MS Office file types.

Yes. Using the QuickOffice app in Settings and the USB port that came with your tablet you can read and edit Word and Excel documents on your HP TouchPad.

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

Can you put a word processor on it? I don't want to do all my writing within google docs.

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.
