Can you edit a doc offline? And re-edit it on a different pc with reg office? Created at home and edit at school is the possible situation?

I have Office 365 on two PCs and Office 2011 on a Mac and can work on each the same as any other. I didn't download the Mac version from the 365 suite so I'd say that you could do so. All three are always connected to wi-fi but I don't see why editing a file offline wouldn't work.

Why wouldn't you just get OpenOffice or SunOffice? Hell use Google Docs online. All of these do the exact things most people need with Word and cost 0$ ;)

Dear DM, Thank you for reaching out about this product. After doing some research, you should be able to use drive apps offline. Everything you mentioned such as writing, editing, saving documents, and pdf's is possible. I hope this helps and have a great evening! Sincerely, Andy King

Yes, you can open and edit Office files, but usually by converting them to a Google Docs format. If you currently have a Google Account, you can use it right now to work on Google Docs. Usually when I get an email with a Word Doc attached, I right click it and tell it to send it to my Google Drive. From this, you can right click and tell it to open as a Google doc. I then work on it as a Google Doc. I sometimes save it in an office format or as a PDF. I also can then send permissions to people who I want to be able to edit or just make it open for everyone. I can send a link or embed the document in an email. I am a reporter for a radio station and use Google for my documents. Almost everything I used to do with Office, I now do with Google. Yes, there are some things I can not do, but this is very rare. I post a newsletter each day and write or edit over 1000 stories a year. I type into Google offline sometimes when I am at a meeting. Like your smartphone, you can find many apps that will enhance your use of the Chromebook.

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.

Yes! They recently added the ability to save Google Docs locally to the device, in an "Offline" folder. The next time you connect to the internet it will upload all the files to your Google Drive.

Hello Carrie, The full featured program, with edit ability, etc. can be used on only ONE PC and you have to register the program on that PC. However, the ability to create PDF files (the PDF Creator installs as a Printer) is pretty much unlimited. Other PC's can make as many PDF's as they like by simply telling the program they are working in to print their document to "Corel PDF Creator". They can create PDF's but cannot edit, merge or change them.

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.

I had to purchase Microsoft Word. You can find Open Office for free online but for my online school requirements I purchased the Word, Excel package with powerpoint for less than $200

You're able to view Google documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings even when you don't have an Internet connection. You're also able to edit Google documents, presentations, and drawings offline.But you may need internet access to setup the offline feature.

Working online is ok, using an online word processing program ok or the one built in for online use...but functionally for software I don't know...

Yes, however you have to download a desktop version from the Chrome store. When you are not connected to wifi, some of the capabilities are limited, but you can still use and save your documents until you are reconnected

It's not included with the laptop, but there is a kind of a reduced version which allows you to view the file, but can't edit them. In order to edit you need to buy the suite OR download Libre Office, a free open source office suite.

I doubt it. It is registered on one computer. If you were able to use it on another computer, why not 3 other computers. I do know that if you lose Office on your computer you can load it over and over on the same computer. I have done it 3 times due to virus protection wiping out the software.
