Does it come with some sort of app similar to MS Word or Notepad?

We could not figure how to activate the computer and we receive no helpful instructions from the manufacture in China so we sent the computer back.

It does not...but for free from Amazon, you can download the OPENOFFICE software and use as alternative or download MS Office for $95.00...

There are apps that can read (and edit?) Word documents to a point - they are not Microsoft products, so there is no guarantee that they are completely compatible. I know of no app that can read OneNote (of any vintage).

Yes it does...comes Windows 8 preloaded and a watered down version of MS Office for the PC side and the typical suite of apps on the Android side. If you need something more powerful, you can always download OpenOffice 4.1; which is a free and very powerful suite -- it has everything MS Office has, opens and saves Word, PowerPoint, and Excel and more. I've been using it for years and love it.

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

NO, but just Google and download "open office" which is a free equivalent of the microsoft office package. Been using it for years.

It comes with a free trial for WORD, but it becomes disabled after the trial ends. You have to buy it for it to continue to work. Mine did not come with Excell.

Mine had a trial version of Microsoft Office. You would eventually have to pay.

Yes. It comes with a computer program and you can easily enter text like you would in a microsoft word or works program

It comes with the standard Windows supplied "Notepad" which is a simple text editor, and also "Wordpad" which is a lite word processing program. I recommend you download and install the free Kingsoft suite at kingsoftstore.com which is a Microsoft Office clone.

Yes. It has full versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Notes on it. A huge savings.

It comes with Word Starter which is very similar to the Office Word and you get to keep it without a charge. Otherwise you will have to pay to get the Microsoft Office software.

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

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

It does not, nor does it include any Microsoft Office programs, those do need to be added by the user.It will come with WordPad for basic word-processing use.

I don't know about the Acer Aspire in particular, but in general factory computers will come with notepad or something, but not something complete like MS Word. Download OpenOffice for free - it's a shareware version of MS Office made by Mozilla, the Firefox people, and will give you 99% of the same features and is compatible with MS Office file types.
