I have used MS Office for such a long time, I could not get along without it. I updated from 2003 to 2013 which is quite a jump but no problems with my earlier documents.

The entire Microsoft Office Applications used to cost a whole lot. You would do system upgrades from one antiquated computer to the next latest release within a matter of a couple of years. Now; just simply, buy it NEW. Great price; and, as always; Microsoft Office Applications are always a great product beyond compare. You can't beat $113.00 dollars for the ENTIRE SUITE. Beat IT; and, then show me where you got it. Thanks; if you can!!!

I bought an inexpensive PC for my wife at Costo that did not have Office. She volunteers at her church and could not print her e-mails. Word, which is included, solved the problem. Also contains PowerPoint and Excel. There is a code on the package that lets you download the applications.

If you have come to rely on Microsoft Office for your computing needs, this product provides most of what you will require. I heavily utilize word, excel and powerpoint and this product completely satisfies that need. If you know how to use previous versions of Office, there is little, if any, training needed. The only issue with this product is that it does not include Microsoft Outlook which requires an additional purchase.

This is the industry standard and Office does live up to its expectations. However, I think that Outlook and Publisher should be included in its package. The easy install is great instead of having a CD for this software.

I like the Windows 7 software. I use the Excel to keep track of my financials and like the multiple tools in the excel software. I often use Microsoft work for letters and like the Power Point as well. Great Package!

I got a new computer to replace an aging laptop for home use. I use Word and Excel on a regular basis but refuse to pay an annual fee for something that has become "standard software" in the computer world. For the price Outlook should be included but I guess that's just Microsoft's way or making money.

I was able to get this product price matched since at the time I bought my laptop Lenovo was having a sale. I'm sure everyone that has used a computer has used word. Works great for writing papers. Don't really use power point but great to have. Same with excel.

I have used Microsoft word, excel and powerpoint all through grade school and college. I will always prefer this over apple cause I am much more comfortable with it. Used Microsoft office for many different reports and presentations.

This software bundle has the usual Microsoft necessities, and certainly a few bells and whistles. Helps to have for home and school use, nothing too extravagant beyond that, but it has all that anyone would need for word processing, spreadsheets, powerpoint, and useful software. Cloud is simple and effective. Don't look too far into internet kicks, but it definitely works great for people used to Microsoft Office and Word.
