Ricko Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi, I was using MS Word on my computer up until recently and it now seems that I have to pay for it. I don't need the full suite of programs just Word and possibly Excel. What are my options? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetree Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Google docs (there is also google sheets as an excel alternative). Both free. There's no way I'd pay for any Microsoft software again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 If Office is installed on your pc you can still use it, they make it hard to find but it is still there (on mine anyway). It is not installed on my laptop though so on there I use the online (free) version, some of the functions are limited but still usable and still syncs the documents to Onedrive. www.office.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I like the open office suite. Completely free and does all you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmicblue Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I use MS Office 365/Home - and yes I pay for it, I have no objection to paying to use decent software knowing it costs proper money to maintain such things: MS Office 365 home £59.99/Year for one licence or a family pack is £79.99/year and you can have the whole suite Word/Excel/PowerPoint/OneNote/Outlook/OneDrive/Skype (soon to be replaced by Teams) on up to 6 separate machines plus your mobile devices (Apple or Android).
