Microsof Office 365

[Dave Jones]

I reticently purchased a new computer and the 30 day Microsoft office has now expired and I have to purchase the software

I mostly just use Word and have no need for power point and Excell.

.

Is it called 365 because you have to renew every year?

 

any help appreciated

 

Thanks

Yes, Office 365 is a subscription based online service. You pay monthly or yearly renewal for the service.

Must be run by the Canadian government now !

Next thing, I will have to get a sticker for my computer

You could see what the price of ms word is to purchase on its own instead of renewing 365 if that is an option.

Open Office is a full featured office suite with a word processor.

 

You can download it for free here.

Yes, save it as a word file ( it is an option) I have used open office for years on my Mac with zero issues.
