Answer 1

Simplest way IMHO is to port Apache POI library to Android. It's possible and there proof of that

Porting POI you can embed Word editing feature into your application.

Piece of code like:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT); 
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///"+file.getAbsolutePath()); 
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "plain/text"); 
startActivity(intent);
