Yes. Google Docs is a part of Google Apps. Its accessible from Google Drive. It's able to do 99% of what MS Word does. And it's free. In fact there is a Google Apps that emulates or replaces everything in the Office suite. All you need is a free Google account. I've been using Google Apps for over 4 years now and it's amazing. In fact, it's the main reason why a Chromebook makes sense for misty purchasers. Do yourself a favor and research Google Apps. Once you do you'll see why a Chromebook is such a great choice.

It has google drive which uses google docs to create this type of file. You can save as a .doc file for compatibility with other programs.

It's a Chromebook, so everything lives in the 'cloud'. You can use Google docs to write your essays, documents, notes, etc. There is no need for Word when everything can be saved forever in Google Drive.

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. It is called Google Docs. It allows you to type any type of document. It gives you a list of about 18 or so fonts to choose from. Though it may not be as good as Microsoft word, it still works very well. There is another app for presentations. I also believe that there is one very similar to Microsoft excel.

Chromebooks have access to Google docs, which is a full featured office suite that has the ability to write documents, spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.

I really don't remember if it had a basic word program and because I'm going to school and needed power point and a good word processor I installed WordPerfect office (students addition). This is a good little portable lap top but it wouldn't do me for my main laptop. It is small and a little slow but great for the backpack and taking on weekends trips.

No, but it has the OpenOffice installed, which includes programs similar to the Microsoft Office suite such as word processor, spreadsheet, database manager, and for presentations and slideshows. Although these programs are of a different format, they are easy to use if you would care to explore them.

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.

No I don't believe so. Although short on ram and disk space I have been able to do everything I have thrown at it. For light to medium duty tasks it's a great little tool. I have word and excel as well as several of my own programs on it. It still has half of its disk space left. If disk space is a problem get a large USB 3.0 drive to store your data on.

These unit comes with word pad which can open edit and create docs. However I do not use it as I prefer Openoffice. It also has windows journal which is real handy in tablet mode. I include the portable apps platform with over 100 portable apps for your every need. I also set the unit up with a program that gives the andriod or Ipad or W8 type interface. Very useful in tablet mode.Cheers Robeee Waza4u

Yes, I have personally bought this Chromebook, and it would be a great, inexpensive way to write stories, essays, narratives, etc. The keyboard is great-I can type very fast on it. It is also well built, fast, thin, and has a 10 hour battery life. You can read my full review here-http://www.amazon.com/review/R3PJDFUZ9BTAI2/ref=cm_cr_rdp_permI hope this helps, and you can ask me any other questions you have about the device.

Does this keyboard have keys for Microsort Word like ctrl-B for bold-face type, etc.?

Yes, great program but quite old now. I am now using Serif products (PagePlus) which is similar but much more uptodate.

No, it has some games where you type in missing letters though. Hope that helps answer your Question.

Yep! You can program the G keys do do virtually anything you want, including relatively long snippets of text. I believe there's an upper limit but I don't know what it is.

Hi Brock. Yes, the MacBook Air comes with a very basic word processor called "TextEdit." You can also download "Pages" from the Mac App store, which is the Mac equivalent of Microsoft Word. Also, this might be of interest: http://www.apple.com/iwork-for-icloud/

Yes. The program will auto-complete most ingredients as you type. It is even compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking which makes the process go even faster.

No, it is all dependant on what your typing into. This is purely for data entry.
