Can I use open office?

"sudo apt-get install libreoffice" is the command, in Raspbian and I think all other Linux flavors for Pi. The Pi Store is a hassle- I tried it and now avoid it. In my experience LibreOffice works incredibly well on the Pi.

Short answer:Yes, in theory, but it will require tweaking some settings on your Pi and I would recommend it be run off a separate drive from the Pi's OS.Disk space and resolution might be an issue. Write down the stats of your Pi and then go to the system requirements page for Open Office. The second-to-latest version requires 400 meg disk space, which is fine if you're using a card for your OS that is larger than you need, but the repeated write cycles would be an issue. The base resolution on the Pi can be that high but not with standard VGA. It requires XGA, so you'll need to tweak the Pi some.

Yes. Libre Office is available in the Rasbian repositories. It can be installed with the command "sudo aptitude install libreoffice" in the terminal.

Mine came with a 60 day free trial for Office, but you'll either have to buy or go with one of several fantastic free open source suites out there.

A more recent version of OpenOffice might work better. Not sure whether ASUS's repositories offer a more up to date version, though. While OO does a good job dealing with word and powerpoint files in general, compatibility won't be 100%. The word and powerpoint formats are proprietary and closed, OO's ability to read/write those formats is based on guess and reverse engineering. That said, you could try the following workaround: upload the document to docs.google.com (apply for a google account if you don't have one yet) and work the forms online. You can download them back to your computer when finished. Another alternative is to use a "windows emulator" such as Crossover to run MS office under Linux.

MS Office is readily available as a third party product and is fairly simple to install. It can be purchased with media kit or usually quite a bit cheaper as a download.

If you have an office 2013 license you can activate it with the trial version on the PC. The PC does not come with Office 2013 activated. You could ask the vendor to sell you one.

microsoft office does offer a free trial to try it out for a month and you can either download the full version or purchase a copy from a store online or locally. I'm using the trial version and it's nice......i intend to go full version at the end of my trial
