Just FYI. If you use Xposed mod 'Play Store Fixes', the Microsoft Office Preview apps will appear as installable. I've got P605 device, not sure about others. Word, Excel, and Powerpoint all work great.
What do you think about the Office functionality compare to Hancom office?
I think the interface of office is cleaner/simpler, but still, Hancom has more features.

I actually deleted all my hancom apps on my p600. MS office is vastly superior IMHO. It's just like the desktop versions save a few options. My laptop is pretty much useless now except for flash, and a few PC games.

I'm loving my phone. Even with the "heavier" motoblur, it's still faster than my barebones Nexus One.
I wish Moto would start kicking out some webtop apps. Anybody found some good browser plug-ins?
Root your phone, start installing some .deb packages? You can always do that.
The majority of Firefox add-ons will work just fine as-is. I've got ABP and a few others installed. The plugins are another issue though. I've tried getting Oracle's embedded JRE 1.6.0_21 for armv7 to work on the webtop but for whatever reason, it won't load. I need to find gdb for arm to debug this.
Webtop app selection not very impressive
I agree; I would love to see more webtop applications.
I was impressed to see that there is an Adobe Acrobat viewer in the webtop mode, but I was disappointed to see that Microsoft Office files (word, excel, powerpoint) load in the QuickOffice App on the Mobile Viewer and not in a webtop app.
I thought the idea for this device was that it's a laptop in your pocket. How can Motorola say that this is a laptop replacement when you can't use a decent viewer/editor to edit and present Office documents?
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that there will be some real webtop apps that will use the higher resolution available to make this device a decent contender for some serious computing.
When I first heard of the concept I was hoping there would be Chrome instead of firefox and that you could be able to use the chrome webapp store.

It's worth noting that Motorola announced all of their future devices released after June will support webtop. That's huge in terms of ongoing support for the platform.
I thought the apps would open in the webtop apps for office too. Kinda cheesy. Maybe they'll change that...
There's hardly enough room on the webtop partition to install much of anything like OpenOffice, so using the QuickOffice on the android portion seems logical. One could easily use Google Docs though via browser to read/edit any Office type documents.
I use Google docs but someone I know refuses to depend on the "Google Man". Flash block plug-in is a good one too. I just see a market for Motorola with small cheap apps...

Thinkfree office
Thinkfree office is the best. Supports all the old as well as new formats for Microsoft office. You can even view pdf in page view mode which is very handy if one wants to read books on phone...
Try to use Smart office.
think office is best android office app because it can run and doc file with images i didn't find it work well in quick office tested it by trying different types of doc file only if it editing quick office is better because itz rele easy but for complete package go for thinkoffice
Quick office
Quickoffice does everthing highly recommended

Go Kingsoft!
I'd highly recommend Kingsoft Office. Market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng&hl=en
Although ThinkFree, Docs To Go all are good, each had a problem. Like some wouldn't open Office 10 files, PPT would be screwed up and such.
Although Kingsoft is a little heavy (7.4MB install) it does everything pretty smooth! Including accessing Box, Google Docs and DropBox!
I tried kingsoft, it's good but the only problem is it can't create a new ppt...
I want a complete solution, so....
Have seen some complaints about lack of a good office suite for Android. Google Doc lacks necessary functionality to replace a laptop.
Other fully functional alternatives?

open office would be my suggestion, though google docs isn't that bad for quick writing and viewing.

I don't think you'll find an Office suite that can completely replace a full-fledged suite running on a Windows or OS X notebook, if your documents are very complicated at all. The suites I've tried (Quickoffice Pro HD, Polaris, Docs to Go, OfficeSuite Pro) are all fine for creating and editing simple Word docs and spreadsheets, but only if there are no headers/footers, styles, inline graphics, pivot tables, indexes, macros, etc., etc.
I use my Prime+dock for text entry, basically, and do any cleanup, heavy formatting, etc., on my notebook. If you're looking for more than that, I'd say you're likely to be disappointed.
I use kingston office it has good features for basic office work.

Have you tried the included Polaris Office? QuickOffice is pretty good too.

There's a full featured OpenOffice app for Android? Only one I know of is a reader app...
According to a colleague, the iOS alternative is far better than any Android version. Any thoughts on that?
Haven't tried it myself.

They all suck compared to their desktop equivalents. I have Polaris, OfficeSuite Pro, and Docs to Go. OfficeSuite Pro seems to suck the least. Docs to Go does better at PPT thought. They all choke and mess up formatting when you import big complex desktop files. Complex Excel spreadsheets with lots of formulas and macros get butchered.
The Onlive desktop app works on CM7 you just have to side load it.
Free version comes with full Microsoft Office word, excel, and powerpoint available
here is a link to apk

I can confirm that this works on the stock ROM as well. This is a really interesting app, thanks for sharing it. Not really sure how practical it is, but it's something to fool around with I suppose.
Nooks and Crannys
I agree... very interesting. Especially if they release a windows 8 version in the future!
Does anyone of you use your Transformer Pad for writing documents? I would do so if I would find a good office app. But unfortionally I can't find one. When I'm at home I use CloudOn, because it's nearly the same as Microsoft Office and does not mess up my documents. The problem is that I want to use my Transformer for writing when I'm in school. But I don't have a wifi connection there. Therefore I search for the ultimate Office App which works without internet and does not mess up my Office 2010 documents. Any recommendations?
Hi, have you tried Polaris Office? It does word, excel & powerpoint
here is a thread with download link

Cloud on? Is it for Linux?
-------------------------------------
Sent via something that can't finish it's sentan...
I tried it out but it does not seem to install. Can't flash the. zip. Maybe there is a problem with the other version which comes provided with CleanRom 3.1? Is there also version 4.0 out there for our Pad?
Edit: OK, same problem as with any other app i`ve tried. Polaris does not seem to stick to my custom font layout. I like to keep my text very compact which seems to be the problem. If I open up my documents with Polaris they are larger (one or more pages longer). So I need an office alternative which is as close to Microsoft Office as possible.
Cloud On is a cloud based office solution but does only work with cloud services (eg. Drop box,Google drive, box, etc.) I highly recommend it when you need to work at home
Is there an alternative to Polaris?
Ok tried to install lastest Polaris Office v4.0.3212.13, would not install. then tried v4.0.3210.07, it installed but kepts force closing.
I running Energy Rom by NRGZ28.
The only alternative I have tried is Kingsoft Office from the play store, seems pretty good and is free.
Kingsoft Office doesn't do the job for me either :/ No advanced settings for fonts or any other fonts. I also tried OfficeSuite Pro. But same result here. All of the apps are not capable to align my text correctly. I think I'll need to wait for the official Microsoft Office or the new Polaris.
Btw. I found my problem. It seems like all the apps don't support the settings of Office 2010 which I have currently in use. However, if I save my files in the older format (Word 97 - 2003) all apps seem to work just fine. But I go with Polaris for now Thanks again ;D:fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I was WRONG! All of them screw up... I just didn't notice that when I either save it in the new or the old format my text is simply wrong. My testdocument is 6 Pages long. But all of the apps align it to 7.
Any ideas on how to fix that? Maybe the different resolutions of my desktop and the tablet are the problem...
Mabye Microsoft Office on your tab
Hi, just thought of a way to maybe get MS Office running on android tab.
There are Linux Installer apps on the play store which allow you to install linux distro's on android, you could then install MS Office on linux using something like 'playonlinux' or 'wine'. Not sure if this would work but will give it a go over the weekend and let you know. If anyone has already tried this can you tell how it went.

Ok thanks, I'll skip giving that a go then. Will just have to wait for Office 15 for arm to come out, should be sometime this year.
AW: The ultimate Office App
The best office suite for Android is made by Softmaker. The word processor is called Ofice2012:textmaker and is a port from the Softmaker office for Windows and Linux. There is also an app for spreadsheets and a presentation app. In comparison to polarised office you get a well designed office suite with good import filters for MS docx or xlsx files.
For a comparison between different android office apps go to Softmaker website. We (can't paste URL)
It was well reviewed by the German Computer magazine C't.
However, I this quality comes with a price tag. You pay around €28 for the whole package. Money well invested
Cheers
