    This software is a must have for schoolwork. I just wish it were less expensive but it's a great program and easy to download and use.

    This version does not come with Outlook. If you are OK with that this is the item for you. If you want Outlook move on.

    Okay, so maybe I'd just held on to the 2007 version for so long that I'd inadvertently memorized everything I needed to do on it. The new layout seems to be a little less intuitive than previous iterations of office--and yes, I know the idea of any MS product being intuitive is ridiculous in and of itself. It still does everything I need it to do (and I should point out that it's mostly word processing).

    I find it frustrating to have to open a Microsoft account to install their software. I preferred having a disk so I don't have to remember yet another password.

    We are pleased with the software and the store assistance we received. The download process was not as smooth as expected. That is not a Best Buy issue, however.

    This is a much better deal than purchasing a yearly subscription even though I believe it should be included with a new computer purchase! It works as it should.

    I purchased a computer and had to pay another $150 to get a word processer put on the computer. This feature should be installed on the computer. I had numerous problems tying to download the software, the instructions were not clear, and I never got it running. I had to take it into the store to get it install, that was a hassle to complete. The tech behind the counter was not helpful and rather rude.

    Like always Microsoft products for word,excel and powerpoint are great. You have a new feature now to have your saved items in cloud and you can view your documents from anywhere. I like how you can change the themes of Microsoft word, the program is the same great program and easy to use. No complaints but the price.

    The 2013 Microsoft Office for Home and Student is great for personal and typical business use for presentations. Easy to create new applications and has an easier insert feature for pictures and video. And pretty much work well all the time. Has also a great animation feature. Finally, when you're actually running your PowerPoint it shows you next slide or animation to have a more fluid presentation
