Yes, it comes with Kingston Office which is like a MS Office light and it has a USB port. It is a nice machine.

Yes, using either the prepackaged Kingsoft or another document reader of your choice off the Google Play Store.

I've pulled off photos and stuff from the reader to my MAC so I don't see why not. The program opens up a separate "icon" for the reader much like a flash drive. However, I have never tried it so I can't say for sure

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

I tried to load a word document and it would not do that. You might check with Sharkk they may know or go to asn apple store they sell usb and sd chip adapters and should be able to answer your questionsGood Luck

It has an app called "Doc to go", which can open and edit Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. It does not support USB, but does have HDMI port. The micro-USB is only for charing, back up and file transfer between Playbook and computer. For example, you cannot just plug in any USB device such as flash drive and expects it to work. It won't.

I bought two of these devices and they both work well. It takes about a minute for the red light to change to blue when you turn it on. To open, I usually go to my computer, then I would choose drive with the removable flash drive. I am then able to open the folder with my information.I hope that this information is helpful to you.

I would assume so but don't know for sure. As with software you can open documents created in older versions in the newer version but not the other way around. I use the FW or thunderbolt cable. I hope this helps. If not, you may find your answer on their website.

I don't see why not. If your PC recognizes the external drive, you should be ok. The only problem will be format. Your text from the word processor will have to be able to be translated into something your PC can read. If you have a problem, I suggest you give the Geek Squad a call. Tell them you just bought an external 3.5 floppy and you need to know how to download onto your PC. They may have a suggestion.

I have not personally tried...But Accordingly to the manual all things in these formats will work On a USB flash drive. (DivX HD®, JPEG, JPG, MPO, AC3 (Dolby® Digital), EAC3, HAAC, AAC, MPEG, MP3, PCM, DTS®)

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

I don't recommend using a USB flash drive. Use a powered external hard drive.

I have never used it for documents, but because it is stored on a usb flash drive I would have to say yes as to anything you would like to scan through, it also saves to your hard drive.

Thank you for your question. Yes, this is no problem at all, the data can be read like with an usual flash drive on any computer.

I haven't tried that. what exactly are you trying to do? I'm connecting a flash drive to watch movies from it and also access my documents.

Yes but my docs won't use it and my first one failed and no none would cover a replacement. Can you use Excel? Buy a cheap samll thumb drive and do your own.

I may not be understanding the question entirely, but once I formatted the drive to Mac, I could edit and save basic documents to the drive. But my pc treats it like a read only drive. Hope that helps.

No MS Office, you have to buy it additionally. I have only used Flash and Reader from Adobe, it works as expected. I only had issues setting the whole Windows 8 at the beginning.
