Office 2000 runs very nicely on mine. I've upgraded the RAM to 2 GB's, and am also running Kaspersky Internet Security, which is known as a memory hog....

No, but you can download Open office for free and it does all that MS Office does. Actually some things better.

Microsoft Office is not pre-installed. You would have to pay if you want to get it.

If you're asking that question you really need to do some research on Chrome OS. No it can not run office.

Really I dont remember that version had because sold. But really the office version was very good. Your OS is Windows Phone of Microsoft. Im sure that will serve you.

No but that is fine with me. Check out OpenOffice.org. It is a free open source software that basically copies the Office software's. More basic than the real deal. Works great!

I am using "Microsoft Office Professional 2013" and it is working great. I am very happy with it. It even let you use the Pen Tool for drawing or signatures within Microsoft Word. It can handle any latest version of Microsoft Office as of now so I don't think you have to worry about it. Just buy the one you can afford and make sure the features you will be using the most are enabled in that version.

Yes, it can run Microsoft word, however, you will need to buy it separately.

No, it doesn't... it's pretty bare bones when it comes to that. I installed Open Office immediately and it works perfectly for my needs.

I am using Office Pro 2010, and it is nice and smooth, so far I have not had any multi-tasking issues, with up to 4 or 5 programs running, but screen space is limited, being only a 11" so keep that in mind.

Not exactly. To use MS Office you must activate it (read, pay for it) then it will complete installation and then you can use it.

I bought this for my wife. It runs QuickBooks Pro 2013, Office 2010 (which has MS Outlook / email), but also an email client, Microsoft Live Mail, browser session, etc. This is a cakewalk for this system. You won't run into performance issues with your requirements as listed.

I'm not really sure I understand the question. Excel is a standalone product. I don't know how you would use it with the other components? Office bundles it with Word and Power Point but they do not interact. You do not need any other software to run Excel. It's a great product, I use it for everything. I especially love the sort feature. Let me know if I can answer anything else. FYI, this is the newer version and is quite different from previous versions. While it does do more, I don't think it's as user friendly.

Just a trial version of Office 365. However, please read the reviews. I returned mine. I couldn't even get office to load, you can't multi task on it....it can't handle it! Save yourself the hassle and look for another laptop.

Surface Pro 2 runs Office 2013 Home and Student very well. This includes word and excel, as well as other programs. I think it would also handle the more complete Office programs just as well.
