Can anybody describe their experience using the Max 3 with a Bluetooth keyboard to run the Android version of Microsoft Word?  This would be a key application for me.  Any information appreciated.

  There's more to my question: I'm not only interested in MS Word on the Boox Max 3 (or Max 4...?) but specifically, using the MS Word for Android app, WHILE accessing/saving Word files via the cloud, using Microsoft's OneDrive.  Thank you.

  FWIW Outlook and Office (reading Word docs) runs well. You need to experiment to get app optimisation set to the right resolution etc. However Outlook's screen layout is set for small screen devices so I can't see 3 panel view.

  Thanks for that, Dan P!  Have you yourself used Microsoft's OneDrive on the Max 3, by any chance?  (My computer is a PC and I use OneDrive; I want to be able to switch freely between devices while working on, say, one Word document.)  I would hope and expect that it would work fine--seeing as it even works on my base-model Android phone--but as I've read that the Max uses a reduced version of Android 9, I thought I'd better try making sure before ordering.  Thanks again.

  Yep I could connect to OneDrive. It’s Android, Google Play is working, so you can load apps up. I tried Word yesterday - it opened a large document with no problems. The Android version of Word seems slimmed down - eg no sidebar view. I didn’t spend long in it as I use my PC for work in Office.
