How well does it work for word processing? And can it be used for word processing offline?

I haven't tried. It's a terrible laptop. Can't believe I spent money on this. It shouldn't even be called a laptop. It's more like a Walgreens brand tablet with a keyboard worth about 10 bucks. Trust me when I say save your money. This was a total rip off

I wouldn't recommend. The one I ordered didn't have anything it advertised. The software was more like a cellphone.

I found it to be more of something that you could let a young person to learn how to use a PC, or laptop than any thing else. But never attempted to use word processing off or online. So all I can say is good luck.it's really not of a great quality. At least not for my needs. I go to school online and it wasn't much help for me.

Trial version of Microsoft Office (inclusive of Microsoft Word) is loaded on. Internet performance is a bit slower than my desktop, but it is not all that bad. Has WiFi connectivity as well as you can plug a cable straight in. I use both but because of the internet performance I tend to use the hard wire when doing video calls

Absolutely! I've been running it on a Win 8.1 computer for 6 months and haven't had any problems. This is still one of the best basic word processors I've ever used.

I don't believe so. I have Scrivener for both Mac and Windows (two computers). Now, I have Word on the PC, but my impression is that Scrivener doesn't use it. Scrivener stores files in rtf, and then converts them to other file formats as requested. At least, that's what I understand it to be doing. So it should function just fine without Word. If you need to be sure, I would suggest downloading a trial version before buying.

It doesn't come with a word processor, but it is easy to download one, there are free apps in the Google market. (Such as kingsoft office). Hope this helps

Thats what I use it for and I love it. Can use huge worksheets without scrolling, and easily have 4-6 pages up in Word at the same time. Great for editing.Be careful as you MUST have a Dual Link DVI port, or Active Displayport adapter and a computer that supports the default resolution as that is the only resolution.

Negative, Word is not listed in the apps. I guess you could find and download some free facsimile, then to I don't know what the memory requirements for that would be.

I haven't used it on older operating systems, but my experience is all over the board with the other versions. I have had it work better on a netbook than a full powered desktop so its hard to say. 12 is better by far than other versions so I would give it a shot. I have noticed less conflicts when using other word processor programs (open office) than Microsoft Word.

I have had no issues just using Word and internet. It's ran smoothly. It's just hard to get use to the new operating system.

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.

To be quite honest, I haven't used WordPerfect very much, so I couldn't say. But I do know it has very respectable formatting abilities, nice assortment of fonts and sizes, plus a lot more other amenities I just didn't expect from a free program; there are spreadsheets, point-whatchamacallit templates, even some for making up flyers, business cards and other things. There's links to go to to get even more templates, but though they looked very interesting, I didn't have much need for them, a lot of them had to do with other languages and those techno-functions that are far beyond my ken. It's quite easy to use, also. I like Scrivener, once I got used to it, but you practically need an engineering degree to figure out how to use the damn thing. Hope that helps!

I really don't know. WordPerfect licensing is less restrictive than other brands but I do know that WordPerfect Suite 8 is a very good inexpensive program for general word processing. I'll look in the literature that came with it when I get home and get back to you.

I do not know if WordPerfect can work on Windows 8, but it works well on Windows 7. Alternatively, WordPerfect Office 5X can be purchased for under $75 and works well on both 7 & 8.

It's only $22.95and it's as good as any other word-processing program. Buy as many copies as you need. It's still a bargain.

It isn't a complete substitute in that even thought it will open and edit Office files, there will be occasional incompatibility. It does have the functionality of Office and some nuances that many find to be big advantages, such as easily being able to "reveal codes" to see why a document is behaving the way it is. That is something that has been invaluable when formatting is an issue. I find I can do things with WP I just can't get Office to do.
