    Stupidly worried about the lack of Outlook

    Purchased this product and immediately regretted doing so when I noticed Outlook was not included, believing I would need to purchase the Business version for $100 more to get it. WRONG! A version of Outlook is provided with Windows 10 and it is as good as the Outlook I had with Windows 2010, To my amazement setting up the email accounts was totally effortless - no need to set ports and all the other things I did with 2010. I entered my email and password and the system set me up. I was immediately sending and receiving emails. Bottom line - no need to buy the business version! Office otherwise is good as gold.

    Works great. I really like having Word again for documents. I also like not having to commit to a yearly subscription service. Just what I needed.

    Better value than annual subscription

    Purchased this for my M1 MacBook Air as my annual license expiration neared for the 365 version. Works the same and has all of the features I have come to expect from the basic Office suite. Considering the laptop is so mew and I plan to keep it for several years, the value of this version will pay for itself over the annual subscription model. I would recommend this version to anyone who plans to keep their current setup for 2+ years. Eliminate the hassle of the yearly subscription with 365!

    Must Have Software

    I've used the Microsoft Office Suite my entire working life, so I can't live without it. My new Apple Mac came with Apple's own version of an office suite, but there's no way I'm going to try and learn new software programs when I can use something familiar. However, I haven't purchased and updated my Office Suite in years, so seeing the new look and getting used to the way it works has presented a few (minor) challenges. However, my biggest challenge was loading and activating the program from Best Buy. I had an enormous issue with activating it. It took several try's, several days and finally a call to Tech Support to get it to work. In the end, it all works well, and the (member) price was excellent.

    The good points: comes with (Classic) Word, Excel, Power Point and OneNote and doesn't require a paid subscription. Yours as long as you use the computer you download it on; and, an easy, relatively hassle-free download. The bad points: too expensive at $149.99! And it doesn't come with Outlook! I don't ask for much in terms of Office features, but Microsoft needs to add Outlook to the package and lower the price. If half-stars were possible I would have rated this product at two-and-a-half stars.

    We just added Microsoft Office- Home & Student 2019 to our MAC. We had no problems downloading the software from the Best Buy site- instructions were very straightforward. However, what was not apparent prior to purchase, was that this software does not work with certain versions of MAC OSX... namely the Yosemite version on my MAC. Luckily, I was able to download Catalina- which works great with our new Microsoft Office software. Now that everything is in-place, the screens/functionality on the MAC version look/act just as they do on my Windows-based computer. So- check out the fine print before you buy, so that you know that you have a compatible operating system.

    Works Perfectly As Advertised

    This Microsoft Word edition works just like it was advertised to be. It replaces the previous versions of Home and Student 2019. I was a little concerned because I saw all the bad reviews but don’t worry. I have had no problems with it. The only problem I had was finding where you actually download the application. Once I figured it out I ran this and it worked as good as gold. Here’s a tip for downloading the code. You make a account on Microsoft(or use one you use to log in to your Microsoft account at startup). The place that you download the code is under “office 365” where it says “code confirmation” or something like that. In the middle of the page when you log in. After you do that you type in product code and your good to go. I was confused because I knew that the office 365 was a paid subscription but when I typed my code in it showed the version I bought “home & student 2019 and wasn’t the paid subscription version. One would think there’d be a option to download the code under its name but the name you look for is office 365 to download the code for this office. Now to the basics.. this computer application has worked very smoothly. A word of warning though. It works with Microsoft 10 but may not with other Microsoft’s. That being said, this app comes with Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. There are plenty of new templates to use, including a 3D clip art and drawing tool. If you are doing mathematics there is a pen you can use to draw a math operation to calculate and it translates this to numbers. Very handy if you don’t want to type out formulas. There are also the new themes and the usual tools that are very nice to use. I have used this application and feel that it is very updated and has easy storage of documents. All in all, I’d say this was a good investment and meets the requirements that our family needed

    The only Word processor worth buying

    Microsoft Word speaks for itself. Its the monopoly of PC word processors and while the incremental changes keep it functional for users of previous versions it still manages to get better than previous editions. Much better than the 365 edition, in fact paid same price as 365 edition except I wont have to pay $99 each of the next few years. The standard edition is much better buy than the 365 edition which is more quirky and requires a yearly fee
