    The package has the same functionality as on previous operating systems but the look has changes and takes a bit to get used to.

    Bought this for my son with his new laptop, a month into it, and he hasn't complained once. Must be a good product. I haven't had the chance to use it, but if it's anything like Office 2007, I'm sure it's worth the money.

    Microsoft office is the standard for most every college and university out there, so I needed it for work as a professor. I have learned to use most all the parts over the years so it is quite useful to me and my work.

    Haven't really used it yet, so I can't honestly say. The little bit of exploring around I've done seems pretty cool but like I said, I haven't really used it much yet .

    It is a little bit frustrated when I finally used it the first time, harder than the older version but I need to familiarize myself. This is how technology works nowadays - always something new after a month or so.

    After using an earlier version of Office, this was almost a whole new ball game. I'm not finding it as intuitive as earlier versions. Maybe its me more than it! LOL

    I have installed this product twice and have yet had the icons show up in the icon select area. There since it's hard to find, I haven't used anything but word and I had to download that from the internet.

    I don't need all the stuff that comes with the full version so being able to buy this cut down version for a lower price really helps me. I have been using Office for years and like it's features so I'm a fan so long as they keep putting out a good product at a reasonable price.

    It's all good, nothing negative to say, I don't like the fact I have to write 50 words or more, for heavens sake I said it was good, what else should I say about it? So if you are wanting words I can say alls good, excellent magnificent, etc... So now you have 50 words!

    Microsoft Office is a must for every computer. The Office & Home Student version was the ideal choice. It was very affordable and after purchasing it off the shelf, Best Buy was kind enough to install it for free.

    Frustrating validation procedure.

    Microsoft does not provide install disks anymore. Instead you are given a paper card with the product key code. The trouble starts when you are required to create a account with Microsoft in order to enter the product key and activate your Office package. If you make ONE little mistake following this procedure, the product will not validate and you cannot reuse the product key. It is a ONE time use only. Totally ridiculous and extremely frustrating.

    I had the Geek squad install the product but have enjoyed using it. The program is easy to use and the "help" feature was wonderful. I would highly recommend this product as easy to use and really easy to learn.

    I bought it with my new laptop. I had to return my defective laptop 3 weeks later and get another one. I could not reuse the software on my new laptop. It is only good for one installation. I called geek squad and they said I could not reinstall it. They would not allow me to return it. So I paid for the software that I am not able to use. This is the problem when you dont get a CD to install software no more.

    Office Home & Student - 2013 Microsoft does everything I need to do. Don't need to spend extra money for components that will never be used. Like the idea that there are many samples of formats to use when composing letters, invitations, etc. Excellent value for the money.

    This program is easy to use, but difficult to set up. I was unable to load it without contacting tech support and even then I was on the phone for over 30 minutes.

    This gives you the same set up as the iMovie for Mac. May not be as user friendly, but if you know basic computers, you will find it just as easy. I prefer PC to Mac, so this is perfect for when my children need to do docs, projects, etc. when professors are Mac people.
