    I ended up buying it instead of the new subscription way. Overtime it will save money, and I'm fine with getting behind as new versions are released. I needed word, excel, and power point so its just what I needed

    I bought this product with my new computer and I love it! It is lame that you don't get the full version with outlook and other MS programs, but it is the best value when you consider that you get the most important MS programs: Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

    Excellent tool for my mddle school granddaughter. Word and power point easy to use. I do wish that a student version were available containing just word and power point for a lower cost. I had to buy this twice as my grandaughter lost her code - and the office program - when her computer crashed. Now I keep the documentation

    As a long-time Microsoft Office user both at work and personally, I was happy to equip my daughter's new laptop with Office as well. The on-line version of Word that was available to her through school lacked some of the functionality she wanted. She can now access the full version of Word, PowerPoint, etc.

    I bought the Microsoft office and home because it it permanent and the best bang for my buck. the office 365 is only good for a year and is $99 but office and home was only $130 since i bought it in a bundle with a laptop. so for $30 more I have office for several years instead of 1 year.

    Got this for a slight discount with a Surface Pro purchase and since I plan on using it for more than a year it pays for itself vs Office 365 monthly fees. Install and activation requires a Microsoft account, fyi, but was easy and straight forward.

    So easy to install and in my case, re-install on a new hard-drive. All 4 programs are extremely easy and user friendly. Typing using the many templates available in all the programs makes professional work from the simplest input. So happy I went this route.

    I haven't updated my computer system or software in eight (8) years so seeing how the technology and software had change was both new and amazing. Although there was new things add to the MS Office suite of programs, mainly the change in the look of the application, there was still lot of old familiar procedures working. Matter of fact I was surprised that I didn't have to learn much to get busy again with my work (I mainly use Word and Excel a lot). My old files transferred over easy and came up in the software with no glitches or changes to the old data files that I would have to make. Talk about saving time and work. This was fantastic! Still feeling my way around with applications but I think I am falling in love with this software. Great for small business, research work, etc.

    Excellent Version of Office

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Office Home & Student 2016, as the version's title implies, is great for any home and student user. It comes with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote, and all of these programs are excellent for getting work done. As a student myself, I use all of these programs regularly, and I haven't had a problem with any of them. They all work great and are packed with tons of features to help you get work done. If you have Office 2007 - 2013, there isn't much of a reason to upgrade since a lot of Office's functionality is still the same, but if you have any Office programs before 2007, i'd definitely recommend upgrading to 2016 (especially since Office programs before 2007 cannot open newer Office files). Office Home & Student 2016 is also a great option for anybody getting a new computer,

    I was excited to see the "scaled down version" (of Office Home and Student) for the less expensive price... but once I got it home, I wished I had the full version as it would have been beneficial to also have Outlook.

    Great but recommend downloading in store

    I bought Office at the same time I bought my Mac Airbook, and relied on the Best Buy employee to recommend/pick out the right one for me. He was otherwise incredibly helpful, but accidentally gave me Office for PC, not Mac, so I had to return it. For some reason the Best Buy point of sale system "bundles" things like that when you purchase them together, making it a NIGHTMARE for both you and the BB employee to return just one of the things you purchased. It seriously took about 40 minutes and at least six attempts by the employee to find a way to return/exchange it. The employees were friendly and professional throughout, God bless them. When they finally got it and gave me Office for Mac, my gut told me to download it before I left the store, just in case. Good thing I did, the code on the one they gave me didn't work. They exchanged that one quickly and it downloaded right away, though it takes just under 20 minutes to download. I live more than 20 minutes away from a Best Buy so I'm glad I didn't have to make another return trip. It's very easy to download, you don't need to pay a Geek Squad person to do it for you, just ask if you can sit there and do it yourself. Though since it was giving me such a hard time, the Geek Squad person there did it for me for no charge since my return(s) was such a debacle, which was nice of her.
