Hurdyb1 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Do any folks here use Office Suite instead of Microsoft Office? I don't use Office enough at my age and this point in my life to justify a yearly subscription. Any impressions on Suite from people here?

Nokra Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 @Hurdyb1 Did you mean to post this here, or did you want it on the PC board? It's fine either way, just wondering what your preference is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistake but for a real question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Check with your company. Microsoft has a Home Use Program (HUP) where you can get the office suite for $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I've moved the topic to the PC board, which is now under "General Gaming", but I left a link to the thread on The Asylum so that you hopefully get the most traffic.

dualhunter Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It's not as convenient but you can use the free web versions through hotmail/outlook.com (probably also other Microsoft webmail domains and even partners that use Microsoft's webmail for their email service) if all you want is to occasionally use word and excel files (powerpoint and some other stuff is available too). You can do the same with Google Sheets and Docs if you have gmail and not an outlook account. With gmail you can conveniently store your files in your Google drive and outlook.com defaults to OneDrive but you can also use Dropbox. If you have a hotmail/outlook account or other account that uses hotmail/outlook click on the icon at the top left of the window to access the apps.
