Can I use Word and Excel with this?

Yes. Acer Iconia W510-1422 runs under Windows 8 and you can use a version of Microsoft Office, which inludes Word and Excel.

ABSOLUTELY. It lugs down markedly when multi-tasking, but if speed isn't your whole world, it's fine. Right now, I'm running about 20 tabs in chrome, a few in explorer, quicken 2013, word, excel, AND a tiny 3rd-party program and it's chugging along!

YES, you can run the full office suite, work very well, good performance. At $399.00 from the Microsoft Store, this is one of the best win8 tablets in terms of cost/performance.

Yes, you can install Word/Excel and run these on this computer just fine (I use it all the time)--it'll install to the desktop of Windows 8.

No unfortunately not. It has a wordpad kind of like the ms word starter on windows 7 but it has way less features and is annoying to use. If you want to save money download apache OpenOffice for free. You can save your documents as word files or any type of file really. It has all the features of ms office too. (PowerPoint, excel, etc.)

Yes it can run Microsoft word. It doesn't come pre-installed, but if you already own a copy, you can likely transfer that about to the surface.

No I don't believe so. Although short on ram and disk space I have been able to do everything I have thrown at it. For light to medium duty tasks it's a great little tool. I have word and excel as well as several of my own programs on it. It still has half of its disk space left. If disk space is a problem get a large USB 3.0 drive to store your data on.

Yes! Comes with office. You get Power point, Word, Excel and One Note. I find it extremely useful at work.

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.

It does not come with Office but it does have a program that is similar to "Word" and "Excel".

you can download an app called Google Docs which seems to work like word, but it will not allow you to run Microsoft products such as office

Hello , I loaded all my Microsoft office, word , excel and all other programs that go with it. I purchased the kit . You can also get it online and download from the internet at their costs.

You can use Microsoft word. It does not come with Microsoft word. I downloaded it and use it often. You can get office 365 which is I believe 7 dollars a month instead of paying 150 dollars for regular office. Here's the link https://products.office.com/en-us/Word

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.

There is an Android App that comes with your tablet. It is called Polaris. You can open Word and Excel with this app and I believe other docs also. I have only used it for Word and Excel. You can't work with the document though. If you can, i don't know that. I have only been able to open, read and save. Hope this helps.

Not sure how to answer that, exactly. Word and Excel work fine with my new Dell desktop windows 7. Except for Outlook, which is horrible piece of garbage I removed and installed from a copy of Office 2007.

yes, but word an excel are just trial versions. WIn 8 its original. Its a very fast laptop, am very happy with it .

No, I don't think so. I had to download Office 2013, I'm in the trial version of Office and I don't know what's going to happen when it runs out (Office). I have a legal copy of 2010 Home and Student and that's what I use when I need Word or Excel. Really not the expert to answer the question.
