TBH if you use office at work I would buy it for home, I would have liked to have got Access, but there was no way I could aford it with no income.

Ugh. I hate Access. God awful package full of features that sometimes seem designed to get in the way of properly implementing a database.
This next bit isn't aimed at you specifically, it is more a general question.
As for 64 bit, how on earth does that make any difference to the average user?
The primary advantage of 64 bit applications is that they handle *large* amounts of data than 32 bit apps.
To create that kind of size file in Word, you'd need to a create a document that had a lot of graphic, and 10s of thousands of pages long.
Most home and office users wouldn't use Word or Excel for documents that are that large.
Powerpoint could conceivably generate slideshows large enough (if you bung in lots of sound, video and graphic), and Access could conceivably generate databases large enough. Although if any company is using Access to manage that amount of data, they really should consider using a dedicated Database server running Oracle or SQL Server.
