A:Answer No, you cannot install Open Office natively on a Chromebook. Google Docs, which functions in a very similar way (and offer a suite of Docs for Word Processing, Sheets for spreadsheets, and Slides as a Power Point alternative) runs natively, automatically backs files up to your Google Drive, and can be set up to be run offline (with updates sync'ing to your Google Drive when you get online.) You also can run Microsoft Office's free online suite which functions very similarly. Also, apps like Google Keep, Pocket, and Microsoft OneNote can be integrated with the Chromebook to save your various notes and to clip/link online articles you may want to come back to for reference at a later time.
