Microsoft Office Software

  • Make your PC or Mac more productive than ever with Microsoft Office

    What is Microsoft Office and what apps are included?

    Microsoft Office is by far the most popular productivity software on the planet. First announced in 1988, it bundled top-selling applications like Word in a single suite. Office has become the productivity standard for Windows PCs and Macs at home, in the office and at school. As of 2016 there were over 1.2 billion Microsoft Office users worldwide and the numbers continue to grow.

    Different Microsoft Office versions include a different mix of applications (for example Microsoft Office student versions don’t include more business-focused apps like Access or Exchange). However, all of the latest Microsoft Office versions include the four key apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

    What are the benefits in buying the software?

    Some people opt to pay a monthly subscription fee to access Office. Others prefer to buy Microsoft Office outright. The advantage of purchasing a copy of MS Office for Mac or Windows PC is that everything you need is always there, and you never need to worry about a monthly fee. Once you’ve made the decision to buy MS Office, you always own your copy.

    For all intents and purposes, these two suites are functionally the same. Each is a one-time purchase that includes classic desktop versions of the most popular MS Office apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. The Microsoft Office license gives you the choice of installing the software on one computer, with the choice of either a Windows 10 PC or a Mac. Both include 60 days of Microsoft support at no additional cost.

    The difference between the two suites is that the Home & Business version is licensed for commercial use.

    What can you use Microsoft Office to do?

    One of the reasons Microsoft Office is so popular, is that the included applications give you the tools to do virtually anything you’d ever want to do on a computer. With MS Publisher, you can lay out and design professional quality marketing material. Microsoft Word is the standard for writing on a PC, whether that’s an essay or a résumé. Excel is the spreadsheet of choice for everything from household budgets to tracking regional sales. MS PowerPoint lets you create stunning presentations that will wow an audience.

    In other words, whenever you need to accomplish something on a computer, Microsoft Office has the applications you need to do it right.
