    It's office, what is there to say about it? It does what it's suppose to. Works great for what you need it to do.

    The new packaging was a surprise for me, I merely brought this little download card home with me from the store. In retrospect , I could have just purchased Office 2014 online & saved myself the trip to the store.

    Microsoft Word has always been a staple on my computer. It is a universal software product. My daughter has used it through out her high school and college career, and I have used it to type friends' college papers.

    Had to purchase this because my hard drive got corrupted. I like the SkyDrive a lot which means no more lost documents, photos, etc. whenever the computer crashes!

    Since mt MS Starter edition suddenly left, without warning, I was forced to purchase one of the many editions of MS Office. This one is moderately priced with just the basics of Word and Excel. Perfect for the home!

    This was a TOTAL WASTE of my money. The program does not work. It can't remember anything. It prints terribly misaligned labels and documents. I adjust the settings and then save it, when I open it again the changes are all gone. I took the computer and samples of the printing to Best Buy, they didn't know what to do. So I said just refund my money $139.99. They said there was some law that they couldn't refund my money. So, I spent $139.99 and got EXACTLY ZILCH!!!

    Overall, great product. 2013 offers many enhancement to older versions.I would recommend this version for any level of user. Step up to the Professional software if a small business or other heavy user of computers.

    So far so good. PDF editing is nice addition to Word. However, I'm was not pleased that I had to sign up for a Microsoft Live account just to have the privilege of installing software that I had already paid for.

    Windows 8 requires a substantial learning curve. So far has operated without glitches, but it slows me down especially when switching from program to program.

    Why buy only a year license?

    For less than a year and a half worth, you get a permanent license. I don't change computers every year either.

    Again, it was purchased with the computer, however it was not installed by the Geek Squad at the store. Had to go online to have them install it. Was issued a rebate for the price of installation by Best Buy.

    Microsoft marketing a fine product in this format is truly amazing. To originally buy these package at about $700 would be difficult to say the least, but when I can get this software at this low price is amazing.

    Happy with the new program. Negatives are the learning curve for the newer format. Also a little pricey for one PC.

    Had a hard time setting up

    I am familiar with Microsoft; however, I had a difficult time setting it up. Then once I finally got it installed, when I began using Word, there were several features I could not change. For example, when I was typing and it ended at the page, instead of carrying the FULL word over to the next line, it would cut it in half. I attempted to change margins and other features but it would not work. Became very frustrating while typing. Other than that, I am happy with the product.

    To me, this is not as user friendly as the 2003 home office that I replaced. I suppose that it'll just take some time and some experience with the new product.
