Microsoft Office I like my new netbook but am disappointed that it doesn't have any form of Microsoft Office on it. Maybe I just can't find it? Other netbooks come with an abbreviated version called Microsoft Works - it at least has word processing available, something I use all the time. Can anyone tell me if this is something I should just load onto my machine? Or is it hidden in the start-up menu somewhere?

Does anyone installed Office 2007 Word program without macro error message?

Try "openoffice.org". It's free and is supposedly compatible with MSOffice.

It has Polaris Office stock, but you may be interested in this:http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-office-coming-to-android-and-apple-devices-in-early-2013-7000005563/I believe you can create docs with the tablet and save them in .DOC format for reading on a real PC, if that is what you need to do. That would be adequate for classroom notes and such, but if you are creating term papers and the like, I'd stick with the netbook.

There are NO microsoft office programs available for chromebook. You do have the option of using Google Docs which will edit Word documents and offers pretty much the same features. An option MAY be that you get the new Office 365 (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/home-premium/) that is a "CLOUD" based program (I have not tried it with my Chromebook, so I don't know if it works). This however costs you like $99/yr for all of office. If this does not appeal to you, then a chromebook is not for you.

It does have Microsoft office installed. However was very disappointed how slow it is. Not using it at all right now. Wish I could return it.

Microsoft ? No, they have a version of Office for Mac, I haven't found a Mac that automatically comes with Office. Most Microsoft products are for windows, Macs are totally different animals. Contact your Apple dealer, or, Apple.com for your Office product.

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.

Office was not on the computer. You must purchase it from MS, or download a $10 version from NeoOffice, which is for use on Apple computers. I've used NeoOffice only very briefly so far, but find it should be comparable with MS Office.

Microsoft Works is an abbreviated version of Microsoft Office. Therefore Works will save you some money. Microsoft Office is the gold standard and can be pricey. If you are a student, you may be able to purchase Microsoft Office through your school at a deep discount. Alternately, the trend is toward cloud-based subscription services that you subscribe to; not unlike your virus protection software. Windows 7 is an operating system that must first be in-place before you attempt to use word processing, spreadsheet software, databases etc. Think of it as your software foundation.

Forgot to tell you this: Office Starter 2010 come pre-loaded, but it is not available until you click Microsoft Office 2010 in the Windows Start Menu and then click the option to use Office Starter.

I am sorry for the month and a half late response. I do not own a notebook of this model or type, so unfortunately I'm unaware if Microsoft Office is included or not.

No, this computer doesn't come included with Microsoft Office. But you can download several free variations or buy and install office

Mine was loaded with Office Starter 2010, which Microsoft describes as "a simplified, ad-funded version of Microsoft Office 2010 that comes pre-loaded and ready to use on your computer. Office Starter includes the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel Starter 2010 and the word processing program Microsoft Word Starter 2010."

Sorry, I forgot I had received this request! The processor is an Intel so it does use the full version Windows 8.1. The processor is essentially the Z2760 processor however which is the updated Atom CPU originally designed for Netbooks. Reasonably quick. I purchased this for my mother to use (90 yrs) and it has served her well. I have considered purchasing one for our house too, but we have plenty of PCs and tablets around the house at is! I would recommend purchasing a Office 360 license, if you need Office on the tablet. Cost is pretty reasonable and if you have multiple PCs and tablets around, the same license can be used on up to 5 of them. Sorry, I forgot I had received this request!

I thought it came with a free trial of MS Office but in any case, you would have to purchase Microsoft Office from a store or online. At that time, you will get a product key to enter.

From what I can see, you have to go to Microsoft & get the trial key. I'd had one that I'd purchased just a few months before, but wasn't allowed to use it, because the version was deemed obsolete. So I used the 30 day trial until I could use it from my online school. However, that proved to be problematic. Bottom line you will need to purchase Microsoft Office.

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).
