you can use google docs to type (it feels nearly identical to microsoft word), just go to google drive, click create, and click documents, and you can print anything just like you would on a pc or mac just hit CTRL P. Hope this helps :)

Envelopes print fine using Microsoft Word. Can't say how it prints them using other software.

The software you use should not be an issue. As long as your computer has a USB port, the printer should work nicely.

Yes but you can not use it for the "copy" function, only the print function

There isn't a word processing app built into it, but there are a number of apps that you can get to do that.

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

I've used the OCR and it works reasonably well. The only issue i have with it is that it creates blocks of text in Word that have to be treated individually rather than as an entire document.

Copy & scan yes but to print ya need something like a computer to feed data.

That's true, But you must understand it's not running windows or any other normal o.s. . You can't install programs like you can on a pc. You can download apps in chrome though. If you want to know what it;s like just use a chrome browser on your pc/mac. WHat ever you can do in your chrome browser you can do in the chromebox. So far the only snag I've incountered is the way it prints. You have to have a cloud enabled printer and email your document to it to get it to print, took a little while to figure it out but now I can print from anywhere to my home printer.

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. Can you elaborate a bit? If you mean, can you make a copy of something else, then the answer is no. This is just a printer. Not a scanner, or fax or copier.

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.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

you can use any printer, you have to buy a disc, bought mine at Wal-Mart or you can just get it on the web.

Word processor does not come by default. You may need to buy MS office 2010 for document creation needs.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I just use it for basic copying and printing, which it does well. Good luck!
