All brand new laptops do not come with MS Office. You need to purchase it separately. Thanks

Microsoft's Office with "Word" has never been included with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is purchased individually as a separate product. Back 2 or 3 years ago MS office was included in most new laptop and PC purchases but this has also stopped being true. What most new laptops and PC's offer is Microsoft Office starter. This is a reduced functionality Word and Excel with advertising. Pretty much useless. There is "Open Office" which is free, fully functional and compatible to Microsoft office. Just Google around for it, you'll find it. There is also Google business apps which is finally beginning to cut into Microsoft's market share, however... it is cheap, but not free. Good Luck!

Hello, My Envy had just a trial for word but I use Open Office as it is free. ( http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html ) This has been great for all of my office needs.I really enjoy this Laptop/Tablet for Media as well. I am not disappointed.

Google docs can open and edit Microsoft Word files, and you can download them again as a Word file afterward if you wish. Also, Microsoft now has Office Online, which I haven't used, but supposedly will let you use Word if you have a Microsoft account. This would allow you to use "Word" on the chromebook if you somehow needed more than Docs has to offer. However, I have never looked back after switching to Docs, and I usually just "print" to PDF if I need to send something to someone.

Yes, it has Microsoft word installed as a pretrial for 60 days. If you're buying for a student you may wat to purchase the academic key card for $79.00 as it will provide access to all of the Microsoft suite for four years with upgrades.

Hi Peter, I have one of these and Amazon asked me to answer your question. It does not come with much of anything except incredible slowness and something in its innards which causes the cursor to wander all over documents. You'll be typing along and suddenly you're in the middle of a previous paragraph and have to cut and paste forward. It can do it right in the middle of a word and begin in the previous paragraph right in the middle of another word which makes cutting and pasting problematic. But its worst problem is incredible SLOWNESS!!!! If you're looking for a small, slow and pesky computer, buy it. If not, spend more money.

It uses Google Docs which is really similar to a Microsoft Word. It does fairly decent word processing.

It doesn't come with Word and I don't know if Office 2000 will work or not but you can buy the current version of Home-Student Office for around 150.

It doesn't have Microsoft office. It has google docs, since its using chrome as an OS.

No Microsoft word does not come with this. There is an outlook express option or gmail.

It does not include office. From what I understand Windows 8 does not have Microsoft Office. Laptop overall is pretty good. My son uses it for gaming once in a while and he complains that it "lags" or is slow for the gaming applications. Not sure about the warranty.

It comes loaded with Notepad and Wordpad as part of Windows 7, but they're pretty basic. I downloaded the Libre Office suite, which is FREE, and has a very capable word processor (and spreadsheet, data base, drawing program and more).

You can purchase either a stand alone wireless keyboard or a case with one attached to it. This would work for note taking in class as long as you had the room to have the keyboard. A lot of students have switched to using a Chromebook. Might want to look into the Chromebook option.

Only Wordpad. It does come with a free trial of Microsoft Office as well, but you would need to buy it to keep it. Personally, I just downloaded OpenOffice, it's free.

It has another word program. However I am not sure if it works as well. To be honest with you I barely touch this computer because it's disappointing
