Office 2000 runs very nicely on mine. I've upgraded the RAM to 2 GB's, and am also running Kaspersky Internet Security, which is known as a memory hog....

I had to install Microsoft Office separately. There are some applications that were included but since I'm more comfortable with Word, I wanted to continue using those programs for recordkeeping and letter writing.

The guts of the Revo are basically laptop components, so you should be able to install Office without any issues. Performance will not be that great unless you upgrade the RAM.

I have an older version of office installed. I still have room for many other programs. I have had no problems with this computer.

It WILL run Word, but it DOES NOT come pre-installed on the computer. You must purchase it again.

YES, you can run the full office suite, work very well, good performance. At $399.00 from the Microsoft Store, this is one of the best win8 tablets in terms of cost/performance.

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

No but that is fine with me. Check out OpenOffice.org. It is a free open source software that basically copies the Office software's. More basic than the real deal. Works great!

I do 't believe it can run MS Office. The Microsoft Surface runs office, but the screen shattered on my surface with only a light bump.

IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs. Recognize that MS Office is not included, so you will have to compromise and use Star Office, unless you have the ability to add Office on your own. As long as you are using Word 2003 or earlier, Star Office is a viable solution.As to buyers remorse, so far the device has met and exceeded my expectations, considering its price-point compared to "competing" netbooks. While 9 hours of battery time seems like a far-fetched claim, I'm perfectly happy with the 7 hours or so I seem to be getting.My only criticism has been the sound quality from the speakers. Turning on the Dolby helps, but at best the audio is mediocre. IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs.

I think this is the trail version of Microsoft office, but I'm really not positive. This is my husband's laptop, so I haven't been using it, and he uses it most for composing music, doing soundtracks, etc.

Paul, this tablet will definitely run MS Access and any other MS program. I have had it for about a month and use OFFICE as well as Java Netbeans and Android Studio. This thing has boosted my productivity tenfold.

My wife uses the product at her workplace. She says that the option is given at setup on which program you want it to interface with...MS Office is one choice. I don't know how well it works with Office.

I would not be able to say. I do not own that software and have never tried it on this tablet. I have however installed other graphically intensive programs, and the bigger the program, the slower it will perform. Based on the system requirements on the Quickbooks website, this tablet barely surpasses the baseline requirements, so I would not expect fast performance, especially if you use extended Quickbooks features (which take more RAM and storage space). The tablet only has 2 GB of RAM and 64 MB of it is shared for video, so the video performance in circa 2003 levels, to give you an idea. That said, Excel so far has run fine, and the free image editor Paint.NET runs fine as well.

I'm sure it will....I downloaded a compatible office-type program from another source and it runs it just fine.

The MS Office Trial version is the full-featured version that is good for the trial period. After that you will be billed the full cost of the software whatever that is if you choose to purchase it. I'm still running MS Office 2000.

Open Office will run too, but it is a bit slow. Check this thread for more info:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=300904#post300904
