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?

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

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.

I haven't seen one, but I've heard that there is one. I like the fact that it acts like a huge tablet too, I only wish it came loaded with MS Office.

Hi no - it might come with trial versions, but most laptops do not come with full versions of any office products...

it has Microsoft office installed but when you open it, it requires you to purchase it or put in your old serial number from a previous office that you have bought, so really the answer is NO!!! Most distressing!!!It has some other programs like word pad and notebook but anything else you would have to install yourself.

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!

I'm trying to install indesign on my netbook. I did this with photoshop and it worked fine. Now I'm trying it with indesign (using the same copy I have on my desktop) and it's not working - the pop up says that it's missing something fonts maybe... dunno (I'm not so savvyin the technical aspect of computers)!!! I need this to be totally portable.. what can I do?

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.

I had to install Microsoft Office separately. There are some applications that were included but since I'm more comfortable with Word, I wanted to continue using those programs for recordkeeping and letter writing.

Microsoft Office does not come pre-installed. You can buy it and add it at anytime.

Good question-it does not. I thought it did. It has a Microsoft sample to buy. I just finally downloaded my Microsoft Office suite into it. Someone told me to look up Google docs-sounds awesome-free. This is a nice device, slow-but nice for doing work on the run.

Jags2483,The system does not ship with Microsoft Office installed. Taking into account that not only are there multiple versions of Office, but also that not everyone needs Office, by not forcing a particular version via pre-installation, we allow the end user to decide which option is best for them.

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.

The version listed here (equipped with an Atom processor) comes with a full copy of Office 2013 Home and Student. If you opt for the more powerful (and expensive) models with Core i3 or Core i5 processors, they only come with a trial version; that is the point people get confused on.
