OfficeSuite Pro is $15 but has been offered a number of times as Amazon's free app of the day.

There are others, but these two are probably the best options.

My Fire HD came with OFFICe SUITE.... I never used it But maybe it would do what your asking.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I guess I will start investigating Bluetooth keyboards, possibly something with a built-in stand to support the tablet.

I remember when I first started writing fiction about 12 years ago my primary writing device was a pocketPC in combination with an infrared keyboard. I used Velcro to attach them to a piece of cardboard for the lightest device I could find to write while I was stretched out on the sofa in the living room. I typed my first 100,000 words on that combination. I only gave it up when it reached the point where the autosave feature would churn for three minutes every ten minutes and I couldn't figure out how to disable it. Ever since then I have always gravitated to the lightest configuration I could find/afford. At the moment my primary device is a 25" monitor sitting on a coffee table press up against the edge of my couch (with the associated desktop cpu stashed behind the sofa) in combination with a windows version of the tiny aluminum Apple keyboard resting on my lap.
