Hi Patrick, only the bare bones software came on mine. I had to install MS Office and anything else I needed. One point to consider. These are not high end smoking fast laptops and mine had minimal amount of RAM when I bought it. I went to Best Buy and purchased replacement sticks and upped the RAM to 4GB (from the 1GB it came with).

Office was not on the computer. You must purchase it from MS, or download a $10 version from NeoOffice, which is for use on Apple computers. I've used NeoOffice only very briefly so far, but find it should be comparable with MS Office.

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

Either, depending on the OS. It works equally awful if you use MS Office. Use Open Office and it actually runs well.

By word package, I assume you mean an office suite? If so, there are two very good options I recommend. One is Google Drive. Their word processor and spreadsheets applications are basic, but very functional. Also, you can use the free web version of Microsoft Word and Excel on SkyDrive.

The one that I purchased had Windows Vista installed; however no Word or Excel programs. You would have to buy the software for that.

I am not sure. I had an issue and had to wipe everything off and start over. I purchased office, so I would have word. I know word was not included.

No. You have to buy Microsoft Office2013 or you can buy Word and Excel individually, I think.

You can buy software online and download it. Even when I got a good price on Office 2007 on CD it also came with a key to download it. But I bought an external drive anyway to watch DVD's.

The word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation programs are the same. There are other added features, but unless you are doing some database stuff or epublishing, the standard should do just fine.

Yes, you can install Word/Excel and run these on this computer just fine (I use it all the time)--it'll install to the desktop of Windows 8.

Microsoft Office Starter: reduced-functionality Word and Excel only, with advertising. No PowerPoint or Outlook.

No! I had to buy Microsoft Office to get Word and Excel, which is NOT cheap.

You can use Google Docs/drive and Quickoffice. You can also use the web versions of word. So you can't exactly install Microsoft word like on windows but you can use similar programs or the web version of word. I use Google docs even on my desktop, it sync accross all my devices...So I see no need to use word anymore.

you can download an app called Google Docs which seems to work like word, but it will not allow you to run Microsoft products such as office

Yes it does come with Word and Excel ect... you have to enter the code that is included in the packaging Just like if you bought word for a Pc. It is not the trial version either it is the full work programming

No. Some models come with a trial version of Office (Word, etc.) that expires rather soon. You will have to acquire the software on your own.
