I'm not computer savy so can someone tell me in simple words: will it let me open word documents and edit them? Or write from scratch? If so, how?

Your are better off finding a used laptop for the same price. The you will have Windows XP or later and can then download and install one of the FREE office suites such as Open Office or Libre Office. You will then be able to open and create Word documents. This unit and other Android notebooks are for the curious and adventurous. There are a lot of perfectly good 3 year old laptops being donated this time of year or right after Christmas.

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.

It has another word program. However I am not sure if it works as well. To be honest with you I barely touch this computer because it's disappointing

With your word 2003 documents..when you do save as...go to the "save as type"..the drop down menu will give you options on saving your docs.. not sure which ones are on 2003 version but try them all. Then when you get your new version you should be able to open them. Not sure about the other question and the features.

I do not know if you can edit in word but yes it does take flash drive,I ended up returning it to get one with more built in storage.

Google docs can open and edit Microsoft Word files, and you can download them again as a Word file afterward if you wish. Also, Microsoft now has Office Online, which I haven't used, but supposedly will let you use Word if you have a Microsoft account. This would allow you to use "Word" on the chromebook if you somehow needed more than Docs has to offer. However, I have never looked back after switching to Docs, and I usually just "print" to PDF if I need to send something to someone.

Yes, you can. There are a number of online word processors to choose from, but my favorite is Google's own Docs. It has tools for headings and footnotes that are flexible and very easy to use.

It works transparently with Windows 7, it does open and read Word Documents and is able to save documents in Word format so they may be seen by E-mail Word Users. I have been using Wordperfect since version 4 or 5 and continue to create documents with it, that are near impossible in MS Word. MS Word has a tendency to ignore the use and format the document how the application want it and it is always difficult what is driving that formatting. In Wordperfect you can always find what is driving a formatting issue. The better application by far is Wordperfect.

No and Yes!!! Automatically out of the box...no. It can read them and edit very little straight out of the box. HOWEVER, a free program from the Mobil Market called Kingsoft Office is fantastic. It opens Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and it will also create those. Now, the formatting is not as extensive as full blown office...but it is great otherwise. I had about 20 minutes before church got started last night and I had an idea of a subject I wanted to teach on in the up coming weeks...I pulled out my tablet and started a new Word document and started typing an outline. I do suggest purchasing the "SANOXY Keyboard Case with Stylus Pen for 10inch Superpad/Flytouch Android Tablet PC" from Amazon...it is WELL worth the money. It gives you the ability to plug in an actual keyboard to use when you want to work primarily in Word and Excel!!

I've only used it for a few months and have just gotten by the learning curve, but Scrivener makes just a few auto corrections on it's own. However, that is a refreshing break from Word's incessant formatting and self-correcting when you don't want something rewritten, i.e. dialogue in a strange dialect or outlines. Scrivener will alert you to mispells, grammar screw-ups, et al with highlighted words and phrases, but you have to fix most of them yourself. i'm not sure about run on sentences yet. I am starting to like it better than Word, solely as a word processor. Learning curve is short, when in doubt, Google it.

It comes loaded with Notepad and Wordpad as part of Windows 7, but they're pretty basic. I downloaded the Libre Office suite, which is FREE, and has a very capable word processor (and spreadsheet, data base, drawing program and more).

Sorry, I can't answer that. I have used WP for over 25 years, but only as a fairly lightweight user. I have never used the professional version. I just know that WP is the only word processor I have ever felt comfortable with. As I can convert my documents into MSWord, I don't ever need to learn MSWord. There is one caveat - MSWord can't do right justification, and it can't do parallel columns, something WP does with just a couple of keystrokes. Therefore, some of the things that I want to convert into MSWord won't convert, but it isn't Corel's problem, it is Microsoft's. Of course, the only reason to convert anything to MSWord is to communicate with people who don't know that MSWord will read WP documents and insist on an editable document. For the rest of the world, I just publish to PDF.

I was able to save to a word document using scansoft ominpage SE 4, which is bundled with the driver for the MX310. I had to start the program, set it up to use the scanner(which was pretty easy), then use the program to do the scan and save to document type word(*.doc). There are many document types that omnipage will save to.

It comes with the standard Windows supplied "Notepad" which is a simple text editor, and also "Wordpad" which is a lite word processing program. I recommend you download and install the free Kingsoft suite at kingsoftstore.com which is a Microsoft Office clone.

If by "document creation" you mean Office then there is a starter kit installed. You may have to go for the open office suite or buy the MS Office product.

This is an Android tablet so it does not run Microsoft Windows nor Office applications; however it does come with the free versions of the "Documents To Go" app for viewing such documents. In order to edit those documents you will need to buy the full version of this app for about $15. If editing and creating Microsoft documents is a primary reason you are thinking of purchasing a tablet, I would recommend checking out the Asus Transformer Book T100 with comes with Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. The Windows tablets are still way short on apps compared to Android tablets, but they are starting to make strides in that area.

Greetings, The WolVol netbooks come pre-installed with writing applications that allows you to create and edit documents, then save them as a Word file. It is also compatible with Excel and Power Point. You may also import other Word files through a USB stick to this unit, and edit them. Regards.
