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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Again, the associate asked many questions as to what I used Office for. He suggested this product vs Office 365: which I did not want. It is taking some time to get use to some of the changes, but that is normal with MicroSoft. It does have many more bells and whistles than I need but may even learn to use them anyway.

    Say what you will about Microsoft, but everything considered, this is an exceptional product. sure, it is pricey...some products cost less, but the options, capabilities, ease of use are less as well. Maybe I'm prejudiced, having used MS products for many years, but why should I change when they serve me so well?

    Inexpensive way to stay current

    The less expensive "Home & Student" version of Office is an inexpensive way to still stay current with the always evolving versions of Microsoft Office. As the name implies, for basic home use there is no need for the more expensive business and pro versions. Even got our copy with a BestBuy discount.

    I ordered this online from the Best Buy website. That was a simple transaction. Less than an hour later, I got an email with a code to use to download the software from the Microsoft website. It took about half an hour to get everything set up on my new laptop, and it's working flawlessly.

    Glad that Office still sells this version of their program for home use. Price is reasonable. It’s easy to install. Some of the changes in Word will take a bit of getting used to but nothing is unmanageable. Glad to not have to deal with subscriptions. I’m using it with latest edition of the MacOS. Runs smoothly.

    Bonus was Black Friday pricing and saved. The setup for Office Home and Student was simple. Go to your Microsoft account or create one if you don’t already have one, and then log in. From there, you can redeem the code you are given to activate the product key for you to use. Download was straight forward with no hicups.

    I’ve been jumping back and forth between all the apps to do my homework for classes. I use OneNote to take digital notes of my lectures. Then I’ll go into PowerPoint to look at extra notes my professor uploads. Finally Word is my most used and I use it for all my assignments. All the apps work amazing.

    After purchasing our computer , the immediate service of the Geek Squad , ( Dominic ) to be precise came around to assist and explain what services they could provide us . By setting up the computer for us and making the transaction seamless . Dominic is a very courteous and professional employee and should be recognized .

    Digital version takes long to install. I had been watching the development of the install for hours and I finally went to bed. I woke to the same activity (screen never even showed what % was completed). I had to do the research leading me to reach out to MS. Ultimately, I had to restart the computer and it was done. Long night and day. Ugh.

    It’s Microsoft Office. This was purchased for our MacBook Pro. As always, it’s a great program to use for work and home. Microsoft made it super easy to install and use. We bought the software version with the product key so that we do not have to pay a yearly membership. I’m sure this program will work for us for years and years to come.

    Excel and Word are critical to me. Sometimes I write emails in Word so they are easier to edit and paste them into my email program. I use Excel to track investments, trend my financial position and prepare budgets. This version is a little different than the last one I had but adjusting hasn't been a problem.

    I am a Mac user. I have no issues with this product. It works as well as the older versions. I was required to get the latest version of Microsoft Office so I could continue to use Microsoft Office products on my computer after an iOS update. The newer versions of iOS are not compatible with the older versions. That aspect is the frustrating part.

    Definite need for a Apple MacBook. Was spoiled by HP being already loaded. Made the change from HP to Apple and just had to purchase the office suite. No problems with loading or adding to MacBook.

    This was an upgrade form older version of Office which had many parts that weren't compatible with the newest Mac OS. Features on the 2013 are fairly easy to learn, but sometimes moved to odd locations. It will just take time to learn all the ins and outs. It was easy to install though you do need an MS account.
