Thanks, for your help and your time. I have an earlier version of Windows, but this Spring when Office 365 becomes available in the lower cost, one user version, I am going to subscribe to it. After I do, I'll try again to sideload it on my tablet. Otherwise if it doesn't work, I'll just wait...

yes, I was looking specifically for the free version that was announced today. Based on what I found, I don't think there is an apk for it. I looked back at the posts where they said tablets. They don't all say it. The ones that do, I think were mistaken. It looks like, as someone else replied...

I didn't read it on the Play Store. It was posted on all of the blogs from the various Android sites that tweeted on it today. Besides, I have several apps loaded and operating on my tablet that the Play Store said was for phones. They all work fine.

I guess what I should have asked is, how can I find the source?

Where can I find instructions on how to sideload? Is there a link you can post?

The Tweets that I saw today which had links to articles announcing this, said tablets and phones. So I don't know what is going on. That is what I am trying to find out. I have already sent an email to Hisense tablet support regarding this too. It was at the end of the day today, so I haven't...

The links that I read which made me aware of the offer, said tablets and phones. But, pardon my ignorance, but I am a Low Techie. I am not familiar with sideloading. Is that something you can do only if you are rooted? Does a sideloaded app work on you Sero 7 Pro?

As you all probably know by now, Microsoft made Office Mobile free today for Android, as of 2:00 pm, and it was available for download and install from the Play Store at the same time. I tried to install it and it says the device is incompatible. Does anyone know, is that true, and if so, why...

Yea, I thought I might do something along those lines with Picasa, since it is a Google product, but I can't figure out how to make it work. Maybe it is like patruns below says, the feature is not available yet. I guess I just misunderstood. There are other ways that I can view my photos on my...

I thought that you were supposed to be able to view your photos on Chromecast, but I can't figure out how to do it. Did I misunderstand? If not, please tell me how or direct me to instructions. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. That certainly works. I was looking for the microphone everywhere on my tablet screen. I use the SwiftKey keyboard and I had not seen it tucked away down there until now.

I was watching HSN Network today and theywere advertising an Acer Iconia 7" Tablet. One of the features was the ability to dictate your emails in Gmail without typing them. How can I do that on my tablet (Which is Not an Acer Iconia)? Is there an app I need, if so, what is it?

Please let me win one. I can't wait.

I think that I responded that my problem was solved too quickly. When I saw that the arrows appeared on the keyboad, I thought that was the end of it, but now that I actually tried using the back arrow, it keeps giving me the "per cent" character. Any suggestions?
