How to edit word documents on Acer

I used 'Quick Office', which you can now find for free in the Google play store. I also use Google Drive, which has office featurea. BUT I MUST CUTION YOU. Before purchasing an ACER tablet, PLEASE check the forums. The Acer A500 is notorious for dying. Without warning, it freezes on te start screen and stops working. I would choose another product. Try Samsung, Nexus, or Asus. Do your homework before buying any electronics. CNET. Com is a good resource.

It really depends--if you are expected to edit Microsoft office documents, you'll probably want to opt for a traditional laptop with Microsoft office loaded. But if you just need to be able to open them, Chrome's Google Docs are fine. As for school web pages, they ought to work ok with Chrome (as a browser), but occasionally you'll find some pages that will only open with another browser. With the Chromebook, obviously, you're stuck with Chrome.

Yes, I installed a free app called Olive Office... You can view and edit Word, Excel and Power Point.

Though I don't have this laptop, It runs android and so I would try the kingsoft office suite. It looks to have compatibility with MS office documents.

Yes, you can discard, open and edit word doccuments. The tablet come with programs to work with office doccuments, if not, you can find some in the Google Play

I am not sure if or how this works but I read about the free Android app called "Documents to go". I can get it on my Samsung Smartphone in the Google Playstore. It is supposed to allow you to view, edit and create Microsoft office files on a smartphone or tablet

I would recommend an Office 365 personal subscription for $7.99/month. It's what I use on my Chromebook if I want the highest degree of compatibility with other MS Office users. For my own documents, I use the built in Word Processor and Spreadsheet. They are compatible with Word, but occasionally not perfectly (margin's off, etc). Now if someone would buy the Chromebook to replace by Acer C710, "that would be great (from Office Space)"!

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.)

I don't know as I never did it. If I were you, I would call acer and ask them. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck!

My Acer A210 came with Polaris Office. Check your apps. When I pull up Polaris Office, in the upper right corner is a small white document shape with a + in it. When I click on it, it gives me several options of Word Document 97-2003, Word 2007, Sheet 97-2003, Sheet 2007, Slide 97-2003, Slide 2007 & Text. You can save PDF files and Word files and find them easily in Polaris Office. There are several ways to take notes using Polaris Office. Also, check into Evernote for Android. It is a fabulous tool!You can download the app in Play store if your tablet didn't come already loaded with it.

You can use Word equivalent off google-play, but I am not sure whether they would be literal equivalents of MS Office.

Microsoft Word is not included. I am testing Openoffice as it is a free suite of office applications.

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

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 are apps that can read (and edit?) Word documents to a point - they are not Microsoft products, so there is no guarantee that they are completely compatible. I know of no app that can read OneNote (of any vintage).
