All of my Word &amp; Excel files were created on in Office 2003 (Vista O/S 32-bit). Can I open/save those files on a new laptop with Windows 8.1?

I'd say 'yes'. I currently have a Dell PC with Windows 2007 and Office 2007, and when it came time to use files created by Word 2000, there was no problem--it was fairly automatic. At most, you might need to right-click on the file, click on Properties and then Compatibility, but it's been my experience that MS is smarter than most of us, and that it just takes care of that. Boogey on!

Greetings, The WolVol netbooks come pre-installed with writing applications that allows you to create and edit documents, then save them as a Word file. It is also compatible with Excel and Power Point. You may also import other Word files through a USB stick to this unit, and edit them. Regards.

It also comes free with Works 9.0 (which includes a basic word processor/spreadsheet).Unless you really really need MS Office, OpenOffice can be downloaded free online.

With your word 2003 documents..when you do save as...go to the "save as type"..the drop down menu will give you options on saving your docs.. not sure which ones are on 2003 version but try them all. Then when you get your new version you should be able to open them. Not sure about the other question and the features.

i Paige, yes, it is compatible with Windows 8.1. Yes the software is on a disk. So far I have two devices installed with a single serial number, so I'm guessing it is unlimited like Photoshop CS 5.5 Creative Suite unlike Windows Office they limit you to install numbers of devices with their serial keys.

It's been a while, but I think it was just a 30 day demo. That's pretty standard though, Microsoft didn't bundle Office with anything until Windows 8

No, windows 8.1 is made so that all of your files will transfer over into your new os(win 8). Everything you have will be there when you're done

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 :}

Word starter and Excel starter. It's not the trial version. You need to purchase Office 2010 to have all the options activated in these soft-wares.

I think it can be installed on 8.1, but since it is outdated, there are not any more updates. This site may help: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/officeversion_other-word/word-2000-crash-with-windows-81/6ea471c5-b3f7-48a9-ae7d-1bf0aac18ec3

No. Some models come with a trial version of Office (Word, etc.) that expires rather soon. You will have to acquire the software on your own.

MS office was not loaded on. You can get it for another $99. Luckily I had access to 2010. I'm not happy with the computer since I've had it.

This version will work with windows 8.0 & 8.1...Installation requires you to close your firewall and virus protection and no other versions of Microsoft Office...

A more recent version of OpenOffice might work better. Not sure whether ASUS's repositories offer a more up to date version, though. While OO does a good job dealing with word and powerpoint files in general, compatibility won't be 100%. The word and powerpoint formats are proprietary and closed, OO's ability to read/write those formats is based on guess and reverse engineering. That said, you could try the following workaround: upload the document to docs.google.com (apply for a google account if you don't have one yet) and work the forms online. You can download them back to your computer when finished. Another alternative is to use a "windows emulator" such as Crossover to run MS office under Linux.
