Yeah it is all set up in the account pages. I have 365 Family. I would hazard there is a chance a years of personal or family will be on offer Prime day. I paid about £60 for 15 months family runs out in December got it set back to monthly

Just buy an Office 2019 key from Amazon for £20 Ken. Near as dammit the same, and no messing about with the silly 365 subscription scam.

Or just use Office.com and do it all online and it is free. I pay for the multiple 1TB storage

Or try LibreOffice. It's not so hot on tables, but maybe that's just me, I'm hardly an expert. It updates fairly regularly, and it does everything Micro$oft Office does - for free.

I'm still using Office 2007, does everything I need and see no point in changing or updating.

But most people use Microsoft (at least those that contact me). Doesn’t that mean that if I use LibreOffice instead, I won’t be able to open the attachments that people send to me? I think that is the case, because several people I have had contact with have been unable to open spreadsheets I have sent them as they don’t subscribe.

Office 365 online is free anyway. You can create all the same documents print them and do whatever you want for free without installing the app.

Office 2010 pro home use program here, still works for us but these days we use Google's offerings more.

I've got a copy of Office 4.3 up in the loft, from memory it was best part of 30 floppies.

Libre Office can read and write MS Office files but when writing there may be minor issues. Generally Writer (word processor) is fine. For college essays it generates PDF's as required so if the end user just needs to read that is great and, I guess, available in Word too.
