I work at a hospital and we are installing an Electronic Medical Records system wherein the software will use Microsoft Word. We received 30 tablets that require MS Word to open, view and print documents, nothing more. No editing, no saving. The head of the IT department said that the Word software needs to display macros, other than that I have no information.

I guess my question is, what are the limitations of Microsoft Word Starter? Can it display macros? Thanks!

Hi
Unfortunately MS Word Starter Edition does not include functionality to create Macro's.

You don't need macro support to be able to open, view and print documents. Indeed, you don't even need Word - the free MS Word viewer can handle that much. Anything that requires macro support implies editing (by the macro), even if the edits aren't being saved.
