But if you use a BT keyboard with your tablet, the only advantage of having instead a laptop is that you can tilt the screen to your preference...

Basic use is very straightforward, you start right away. Knowing all the tricks, that will be developed in time, but it is not necessary at the beginning.

And you are right, there was a mistake. On that site, the maximum Kingsoft (before it became "WPS" - which changed the interface and other things) you can find is 5.9.1, not 5.12 (5.1.2 is an old version with a name that may trick). Formerly, you could download Kingsoft Office 5.12 from their website, then they broke the link.

Note that also WPS would work very well, and you do not have the "habit" reason I have to use the old Kingsoft (I know that WPS is filled with advertisements though). But the zoom function is in the toolbar of Kingsoft, and not in the interface options of WPS. You could pinch to zoom in WPS, but you have no multitouch on the MaxCarta.

Note again: as you will have found from the threads indicated, the software will work decently, but to make it work really well you will probably have to add an app to force wake lock... To make it clear: while you are typing, the tablet may decide to go to sleep. So, what you type may be rendered on the screen in bursts, it may not be rendered until you click hardware buttons, etc. With an app that instructs the device to always stay awake, when you type you always get immediate feedback. There must be many around, I also wanted to publish one I wrote here, I'll see if I can do it this evening.
