    I think you will need to download an app for word.

    Check out your App Store.

    Doesn't your tablet come with an office type of program installed already - such as OFFICE 365 ?
    If not - as OMO says - simply download one from the app store....

    Assuming its an Android tablet (not an Apple)..

    The best free Android form of 'Office' I have found is this one

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng

    Handles most Microsoft Office format files.

    Its actively being improved so make sure you check for updates to it regularly.

    Thank you all, it is indeed an android and I am a complete newbie but getting to grips with it. I will have a go with them

    No it didn't come with anything on it, I bought it 2nd hand so may have been taken off before I got it.

    Thanks again.

    Google Drive does all the Office-y stuff I need on Android, and syncs to the cloud. Try it out before spending money...

    Pages. It's a cut-down version of Pages from iWork, Apple's own Office-alike.
