I have started to use Dropbox on my PC and two laptops in different locations. Most of my documents have been created in Word for Windows. If I buy a Galaxy Tab for its greater portability, will I be able to access, work on and create Word documents on it please?

Yes, you can open, edit and create word, excel, and powerpoint documents on all the versions of the tab. That being said, it can be a little cumbersome to make big changes in things like powerpoint. I created a powerpoint presentation from scratch on my Tab 10.1, and it took me about 3x as long as it would on a PC. Word and Excel are much easier to work with, of course, but you'll have to learn to use the software on the tablet. If it's just the format you're worries about, then you should be fine.

Thank you for that reassuring reply. I will only need to use Word documents and possibly Excell, so I'll start looking.
