Dragon 11 can enter data into cells in Excel, yes, as long as she can navigate between the cells and operate the program using mouse or keyboard. If she needs to be able to control the program with Dragon rather than by using a keyboard or mouse, so that she is using Dragon to open the spreadsheet, navigate around the spreadsheet (such as jumping down 12 rows and over one column to select a different cell and make an entry there), save the updated spreadsheet, etc., she needs Excel 2003+, Dragon 11 Premium edition (NOT Home edition, which cannot operate Excel with commands, though Home edition can still enter Dragon-dictated data into the cells), and ideally, a fairly new and powerful laptop or desktop computer with reasonably good resources including extra memory. It will run on an underpowered or old computer, just not as well, and may balk at executing program commands. Even Premium edition Dragon 11 cannot execute dictated commands in most programs other than Word, Excel, PowerPoint, web browsers, and itself-- for that, you still need to be able to use a keyboard and/or mouse. She also needs a good headset. The packaged headsets included with some versions of Dragon are just so-so. Better headsets make fewer errors.

It should be a simple as plugging it into a working usb port and allowing the driver software to install. After that it should work as a reader that automatically translates the magnetic info into numbers. This works automatically with excel and a few other programs but depending on what you are using it may have to be configured manually. What are you using it for? What is the software you are using it with? What operating system are you running?

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

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've only had to do this once...and it worked just fine.It will of course depend on your program the document is formatted in. But, we simply love this machine. The company we bought it from has always been happy to help me with any problems I encountered while learning to use it.

Well..the one they sent me didn't work at all, so I can't answer your question. It wouldn't hook to my computer monitor, it wouldn't function (and there was no answer from their tech support people and no link to download software that MIGHT make it work), so I just screamed to them about it in an email and went to Office Depot and bought one the DOES work.

No, it comes with open office 3.3, which allows for writing and reading documents and excel. Any further questions, call 718-975-0609. Best, Jasmine

Yes it does - Avery software. I'm not the best with a computer and I have some problems getting images to fit the labels, but that certainly could be me. Otherwise the software is easy to use.

I hate to admit it but we're on XP so I can't confirm if it works with Win8. Sorry!

You should really consider Open Office 3.0 (openoffice.org). Its completely free and is compatible with virtually all MS Office products.

It does not work with Microsoft Excel, but I use Kingsoft Office Suite, which is a free software that allows you to read and edit MS Office documents. You can also supposedly create documents, spreadsheets and slide presentations that can be read in Word, Excel and Power Point. They are not 100% compatible, but if you are interested in just being able to read your Excel spreadsheets and perhaps make minor edits, this could be an option for you. If you need 100% compatibility, I'm afraid the Microsoft Surface is your only tablet choice.

yes. The spreadsheet program name is Quattro. It goes back to DOS days before EXCEL. FYI You have to remember to use extension of Excel when you save files.

My wife uses the product at her workplace. She says that the option is given at setup on which program you want it to interface with...MS Office is one choice. I don't know how well it works with Office.

No but that is fine with me. Check out OpenOffice.org. It is a free open source software that basically copies the Office software's. More basic than the real deal. Works great!

No. It gives you an odd file type that works in Excel but the time in and time out are both in one cell for the day. You have to manually re-enter the times in separate cells and then create a formula to calculate total time. They should develop software that does this or at least puts the in time and out time in separate cells.
