Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the ease of use, price, and the inclusion of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in Office Home & Student 2019. Many appreciate the software's performance and straightforward installation process. While some users wish for Outlook to be included and for the product to offer ongoing updates, the overall feedback highlights its value for its core applications. The lack of a subscription model is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

    Geek squad honest and saved me money by buying the device instead of annual payment - very honest about renewing my Geek squad for next year but not the following ; pointing out if my lap top dies it would be better to get a new one after 3 years

    This purchase was for an upgrade in a new PC. Surprised to see a lot of changes that I will have to used to. Menu bar has big changes and locations on the monitor. Some nice new templates that are appreciated.

    I purchased this product because having to upgrade to Windows 10 wiped out my previous copy of Office for which I no longer had the product key. It was easy to install as a direct digital download and this product key unlocked the product.

    I purchased this keycard with my Mac computer and the program works perfect. I was a little skeptical at first after reading the reviews. Their were more positive than negatives reviews. This software is just what I needed for my home office.

    I loved all of the advantages that I got with Microsoft Office Home and Student. Just did not realize that the money I paid for it was just for one months worth of use. I would not have bought it had I realized that.

    Wish we would of known we would have to re-purchase after husband did his update on his Mac computer for the 2013 office. But its an essential must have. For what we need it for its a lot more practical than purchasing one with an annual fee.

    I like it, but I don't like having to save my documents in One Drive. The older versions allowed me to save them wherever I wanted to. One Drive in my opinion is a rip off because once you run out of space, you have to buy extra gigs to save your documents.

    This is a great deal where you have don't need to pay the annual expense to continue the usage of these 3 applications the next year. I anticipate any changes to be minimal and not affect the basic structure of the applications.

    I really like this program much better than the Office 365 as I do not use many features that might benefit from regular updates. This works great for my normal uses of Excel and Word.

    Can't hardly make it any more without this trio of programs. Nothing new for me, just a big price tag (this is why I get it 4 stars). What bugs me is that you can't transfer a license from a computer you are retiring to a new one. I bought the full ownership version as I do not want to be bothered with renewing ownership every year.

    I enjoy the ability to keep things as organized as I did before I retired. This software helps to keep track of the different stages in some of my work projects and recreational events. I can also use it to track my charitable contributions and projects.

    I got tired of paying every year for the "priviledge" of using Microsoft Office 365. Even at nearly twice the price, it will be worth it to open my computer and NOT be able to use Word or Excel because I had not renewed the subscription.

    I bought this product for my in-laws. They had gotten a new laptop and needed access to Word. Got a good deal with special holiday pricing and will be good for the life of their computer. It was easy to install and shipping time was fast.

    Office suit works great. Decided to go with this suite instead of office 365 since we don’t use the apps that much and didn’t want to pay the annual subscription for 365. If we expected a heavy use of the apps the I would have purchased 365 instead. This was more economical in the long run.

    Didn't have any problems with the set up and it went relatively smoothly. It did take best buy a phone call to get it correctly added to my account so that I could activate the download code, but I haven't had any issues since then.

    This program is very common, so will be easy to get started with and email documents. There are still some quirks, like every once in awhile it does automatically capitalize the first letter at the beginning of a sentence. Basically I got it because there are a few less quirks than a free word processor for my Mac.

    Ordered Microsoft Home and Student Office online 2019. Would prefer to purchase this type as opposed to an annual contract version. Ordering and delivery went very well. Installation was easy and product was well worth the cost.

    There's been a lot of give and take regarding features for the programs in the most recent version of Microsoft Suite. While Word has seen some improvements, one of its most useful and prized features has been removed, and now it's nearly useless to me and a lot of other users. Without the ability to know your exact word count at any given point in a document, instead of just a collective whole, it's lost its reason for being the word processor of choice. Now it's no better than many of the others. On top of that, 4 days after purchasing Office for a new laptop in August, an update was released, which I foolishly ran, and it messed a lot of stuff up. The most recent update that came out a week or so ago is said to be even worse. Threads on the subject aren't warm and fuzzy for either. Not impressed and doubt I'd purchase it again in the future nor necessarily recommend it.

      Hi there,

      Thanks for sharing your review. We wanted to let you know that Office 365 does allow you to select a section of your document and see how many words are in it. So that may be an option to look at. We're sorry to hear that you had some issues with an update. If you need help resolving the issues we recommend that you reach out to our Customer Support Team for personal assistance: https://aka.ms/AA4jrpj.

      Hope that helps,

    Working well so far. Too many apps that I do not care about. Set up to a certain point was fine. Then it took a tangent and I am not sure I have set up everything I need. Tried to contact HP and Best Buy. HP was useless, and Best Buy had a extremely long waiting time.
