    The program is incredibly difficult to work with and learn. It is not user friendly at all. It makes using the computor difficult to use and is not a pleasure to work with.

    I had used Microsoft Office 2007. I really liked that. Colors were great and so was the layout. MO 2013 is laid out very similar but the colors remind me of MO 1998. Boring!

    This is a piece of software that is necessary to be able to use the computer to what it is intended to do. Should be already installed in the PC as it was a few years ago.

    Once installed it makes good reports and is absolutely necessary if you need excel and word on your computer. Always a learning curve when you install new software.

    This new Microsoft 8.1 is a different animal than previous versions. It's like starting from scratch. It's not very user friendly at first. Do the tutorials!

    My daughter paid for this program and tried to install it on her laptop. She had installed it on the first laptop we purchased but the laptop had issues so we took it all back and got a new copy of the program, the new copy will not install on her new laptop at all. Complete and utter waste of hard earned cash

    Expensive for what you get. Had to purchase this after the OEM installed version was lost due to HD crash. Microsoft would not provide a replacement, I had to purchase new and submit a claim that would take 6-8 weeks. Not a Best Buy problem, a Microsoft problem.

    Really thought that it was a little too extreme to have to pay for Office program. As basic as Office is, it should be free or cost very little.

    This Office program is too complicated and too many choices in it - would rather have a simple word program.

    Am I the only one that does not think Windows is getting easier? Every version requires more time to learn, and doesn't seem to be making me more efficient.

    I really don't like the new windows product and it comes loaded on all th laptops! I tried to return the laptop, but Best Buy had conveniently changed their return policy! So I will suffer through using this piece of garbage until it dies three years from now- or sell it and lose $200.00 right off the bat.

    Was not expecting the changes in the newer version, getting used to how to use it though. Would not recommend the update if you do not have to upgrade.

    Frustrating processing program.

    This program is a nightmare. Lots of bells and whistles, but it isn't compatible with any Works files. A conversion program has to be used on those.. Sometimes a document will look one way on-screen and totally different (not a good thing) when printed out. I hear patches are being developed for it, but had I known what a mess it is, I would never have bought this program.
