Customers are saying

Customers admire the ease of use, compatibility, and overall value of Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac. Many appreciate the inclusion of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, finding them suitable for both student and professional needs. While some wish for the inclusion of Outlook, the one-time purchase option is preferred by many over subscription-based alternatives. A few users noted some formatting challenges and the need for occasional updates.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I ended up returning it because of a promotion my work had in getting the license. But for the product itself, I was pleased with Word and Excel.

    Microsoft no longer provides a disc from which to load software. Instead they give you a download code. This is cumbersome, less than ideal.

    The program has bugs, issues, and doesn't work the way I think it should. There's no save as option, which really sucks.

    Would not load on my brand new laptop without a third party requiring me to buy security software which costs to much and didn't provide me with a receipt. Microsoft wasn't helpful either pushing me onto this third party. Don't purchase this product just make due with apple software.

    The MacBook Pro was purchased refurbished but it was not refurbished. It kept updating itself and couldn’t be used due to constant updates. Also battery was never replaced and would not hold a charge. Product is currently being sent back to the company that refurbished it.

    This is the second time I have bought Microsoft Office for an Apple. Once for an IMac Pro 27” all in one and the other for A new IPad. I couldn’t get it to run either time. I’ve used Office for over 20 years on windows based machines and have never had a problem.

    I was excited to finally have the program but turns out you have to be on wi-fi or internet to login and access the program to use? Im a beginner still and Im old school so I wish the program can just be on hard drive so I can use it anywhere. Disappointed

    Thought the process for installing with the product key would be easy. But I can't find my country or region. And I can't recall seeing a limitation on the product detail when purchasing. I could be wrong but ...

    The Best Buy representative told me that I needed this product for my MacBook Pro, however, my laptop came with all the programs and therefore I spent extra money for no reason.

    Upon purchasing this object it never allowed me to use it and wanted me to pay more money to use Microsoft even though I had already purchased the whole program from best buy.

    Microsoft knows they have a problem on Macbooks- they just won’t fix it. At least Best Buy refunded me after 3 geeksquad attempts failed to fix it.

    We were sold this by store rep to go with Mac Computer. It is not needed as there is a.program within the computer. So we have a $135 program we do not need.
