Google Play query

[Josieb1]

Hi, I am new to android and Google Play and wonder if someone can enlighten me.

I need to buy a decent Office program and have been looking at whats available. I don't understand why the price of the Office Suite Pro is showing at £9.64 on the UK website mobisystems.co.uk but £14.94 if I buy it through the trial version of the app.

My PC listed my device and total me the app was compatible so I did actually purchase the Office Suite via the UK website on Wednesday, 4mins after I got the 'sending app to your device' message I got a refund from Google Play saying customer requested refund. I didn't. The app never reached my Nook.

I just don't know I I'm not 'allowed' to buy it via the website, either by mobi, or by B&N and why the two prices are different.

I have three days left if the trial and just don't know what to do.

Hi Josie,

Why don't you try Kingsoft Office? It's free and gets good reviews in the Play store.

I did try Kingsoft and it does work really well between my PC, Dropbox and my Nook. It doesn't work if I want to upload my word doc into pages on my ipad, the version of word is too old and not supported. The Office Suite app does.

Josie -- is that the case even if you save the files as *docx? That is the newer format for Word docs, and the iPad should read it.

See if Kingsoft lets you save your Word docs in *.docx format. They say in the Play store that they support that format.

I must admit I didn't try that as the word format said it was 97-2004. Its all a bit irrelevant now anyway as I bought the Office Suite Pro 7 yesterday directly frm the Nook Store. But thanks for the sugeston
