I actually just purchased office. When I purchased the laptop it didn't come with office. The little I've used Word and Excel has been good. It didn't slow the computer down at all.

Sorry we weren't able to to use the Microsoft Word because I've faced a problem on the laptop itself.

I used Microsoft Word a lot for class and he hasn't affected the speed of my computer.

I only use this for excel so it is a bit hard to answer, what I can say though it takes almost a minute to open excel. It is very basic in blunt terms, were I buying a pc for gaming i would spend a bit more if possible to avoid frustration

You say "That would take some work, but can be done." How much work? Do you have any tips?(I plan to use MS office with WinXP on my new 8G EEE)

I have Microsoft Office 2007 and installed it to this computer. It works great and I have been using it for about 2 months without issues with that software.

This is gaming PC. It's amazingly robust, and can get 60-90 FPS on most new games. I've had no complaints about it at all. Any pc can run microsoft office. Although I would suggest OpenOffice instead.

No, this has it's own version of word, excel and power point that is compatible with the ms versions. Actually works quite nicely. I've downloaded ms stuff and used it, haven't uploaded to my pc and used with ms programs yet Good luck :}

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.

Yes, I use this computer for those things and it does them very well. This computer doesn't come with Word, so you'll have to install that if you have the disc or buy it. Or you can download a free program like Word and install that once you have your computer connected to the internet. (I like Apache OpenOffice suite because their Writer program works like Word, but it's free.)

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.

I use it with InDesign and Photoshop a lot and for the most part it is pretty speedy--I tend to have lots of photos and a couple of documents open all at once. If 16 gigabytes RAM had been an option I would have gotten it, but I haven't had any problems so far.

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 have not had any issues running Microsoft Office in my laptop at all. I love this Laptop.

yes and it works fairly well. Word and Excel can also read open office spreadsheets and docs.

I made the mistake of loading a full version of office onto it. I think the intention was that users would use office 365, or other cloud based programs. There just isn't enough disk space - it really bogs down.

I upgraded to 9.8.2. I did not notice any major differences. I have been using smart suite for over 15 years. I find Word Pro is much more user friend than MS Word. I would like IBM to update it so It would match up the new material in MS Word. they don't seem tp respond to my requests.

I installed Microsoft works suite 2006 on a desktop with win 7 and laptop with win 8 with upgrade to win 8.1.Both worked fine and gave me back the old version om Microsoft Word. Some items I deleted after install.
