Office Suite

travelingsandy · 04-30-2014, 06:12 PM

The package with my new Kindle Fire HD stated Office Suite was built in. I can not find it--anyone know where I should be looking?

I think they only bundle the basic free starter version.not the full pro version. GO to apps & check both device & cloud tabs. if no joy , check store & look for free version to "buy"

the pro version was free app of the day recently but it has lots of bad reviews - so beware!

Yes, OfficeSuite starter is on there somewhere. I don't think you can actually see it in your app library (or maybe I cannot see it because I've installed Pro version), but if you open Manage All Applications in Settings you can see it listed there (and I don't know if you can even uninstall it). If you open a .doc, .xls, .txt it will be a choice you can use to open it with. I don't remember what the limitations are, it might not even save your changes.

And yes, I have not really used it very much, i got Pro for free awhile back but have no use for it to speak of.

on my HDX ( pro not installed)

it is not visible on the apps tab- - not under device & not under cloud either.

but if I go settings apps, manage all apps it IS on that list, it seems to be running as a background service or process, just waiting for something to do I guess.

how compatible with MS office formats is it i.e. which of .doc .docx .xls .xlsx can it open ( if any ? ).

I would like to recommend the app "textmaker". From all the apps I tested, this was the only one that had all the features I needed. For example it supports words review and annotation system and handles footnotes. Styles are also usable wheras most other apps only offer direct formating.
If you do not need footnotes, wps office is quite nice and free.

Add docs to your docs section and try to open them, then you will see the program. It is integrated and not listed in any apps section.
