Does it require a mousepad? Microsoft compatible, Office 7 Professional?

Mouse is a rubber ball mouse - which shouldn't slip (so that you'd notice) on wood, plastic, glass surfaces but a mouse pad would probably provide more grip for the rotating ball. I'm using a pad with my Dell YH958 - out of habit.

i do not use a mousepad. It is right on the desk surface. I use Microsoft Office Word 2007 with no problem.

Hi Laureen L., I never used a mousepad with the mouse...it is fine. Also, it is Microsoft compatible. I have a new computer and mouse now...but, I do believe it is Office 7 Professional compatible. I hope I've answered your questions. Good luck! radiogalNY

I do not use a mouse pad. I use MS Office 7 Word every day with this mouse. Quiet clicks. No problems whatsoever.

No, Microsoft Office is not included, you will need to buy and install it on this laptop.

I believe it does. The tablet can control the mouse pointer, and Office 2003 supports tablets. I don't see why not.

No, you must purchase a stylus separately. I purchased the Dell active stylus thinking it would sort of replace a mouse when I use it in touch mode, but it has only worked once or twice. I purchased a set of "dumb" stylus' at Office Depot, and they work great.

no but any mouse will do.. I wish I had gotten a touch screen because windows 8 is kind of a pain to navigate.

No office software. Win 7 Pro as an op system only at this price. We can send you office 07 on a dvd for $30

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).

Yes, but beware -- my mousepad never worked properly, which largely negated the convenience of having such a portable laptop.

There is no mouse attachment to this laptop. If you mean the mousepad, I can say it's too big for its dimension. Some time my palm would get in the way. Maybe I'm too custom to my old laptop where the mousepad is small. What I can say is the mousepad works but not my friendly type

it has Microsoft office installed but when you open it, it requires you to purchase it or put in your old serial number from a previous office that you have bought, so really the answer is NO!!! Most distressing!!!It has some other programs like word pad and notebook but anything else you would have to install yourself.

No it does not. The touchpad is poor in general. Spoils an otherwise great design.

No, this does not have office pre-installed. It has the option for Google Docs, a free alternative and office can be purchased.

Sorry, I hit yes by mistake. It does not come with Microsoft Office. I purchased that separately.

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, you have to buy it later. It comes with office trial. Or install openoffice or another free option.

It does not, nor does it include any Microsoft Office programs, those do need to be added by the user. It will come with WordPad for basic word-processing use.

Do you mean MS Office? No. Though it has Wordpad, Notepad, a calculator etc.
