    I tried to save money and used other options instead of investing in Microsoft Word. What a mistake! I finally broke down and spent the money to purchase Microsoft Word, AND, it is just wonderful ... so uncomplicated to use, for me, a novice. MONEY WELL SPENT.

    Could not believe Office didn't come installed on my new laptop?! So after researching all the different options, I decided on the ONE TIME purchase, rather than renewing every year.. Happy with this choice.

    Got this because my kids need to have it on the computer, but I think it is too pricey. Installation was not the easiest either. As far as Word, it works fine.

    In todays world, Microsoft Office is a necessity. I do not think it should cost as much as it does, but that is an issue with Microsoft, not Best Buy. I got it for $20 off when I purchased my new laptop, and I still think it costs too much! The layout of word, excel, and power point are very nice and easy to use. I have already updated my resume! Anyway, like I said Microsoft Office is necessary for todays world whether you are a student or a business professional. It is what it is.

    I purchased Office 2013 because I purchased a new computer and my 2007 version did not work properly. The installation of this program was extremely easy. The transition from Office 2013 from 2007 was easy as well. I am very pleased with its performance.

    The software works really well. Definitely less error messages, so that's a good thing! It does take some time getting used to because it looks different than office 2010 which I was using before.

    Last Word Program I had was bundled with my first computer and came as a CD. My, how things have changed. I was surprised you buy a card at the store and download it at home, but that's exactly what I did ---- easy, fast, and I was in business in minutes.

    It's a pretty reasonable price for Word, Excel, and Power Point, but I wish it included Publisher instead of One Note.

    I knew what to expect. This is my first office upgrade since 2010 and it's got all the tools I need and expect plus a few more. You can even customize the background to make look a little bit more to your liking. Office isn't so plain anymore..

    There are many new adventures attached to this product but once you have learned them they are worth the effort. I have enjoyed the ever note program. I am still learning the windows application but I am sure it to will have many creative options.

    Office 2013 is a great basic, especially if your a student! It includes Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point and another one, but those three are the most used by students! It's definitely a great price for unlimited use of those software programs.

    Microsoft continues to enhance the features of Word, Excelm Powerpoint, etc. and now offers 7 GB of cloud storage. What I like is that files created by very old versions of the software, and sometimes even different software, are still editable.

    I was concerned that upgrading to the newest Office would leave me wasting time searching for what I wanted the program to do, but that has not been the case. Using this Office has been rather intuitive which was refreshing and quite a relief.
