I think you will need to download an app for word.
Check out your App Store.0 -

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....0 -
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.0 -
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.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

Google Drive does all the Office-y stuff I need on Android, and syncs to the cloud. Try it out before spending money...0
