Most Liked Positive Review

Good Value for Great Software

Perfect for home use. I used to use the free OpenOffice, but it had some cpmatibility problems with heavily formatted documents and presentations. The only answer was to go to MS Office, or have everyone else in the world switch to OpenOffice.

Per license, the cost for Office Home & Student is ideal. It has no problems opening or saving documents from earlier versions of Office.

The interface took some getting used to. I was accustomed to the Office 2003 style interface. After a week of use, though, I find the new "ribbon" interface is more efficient than the old interface. Give it time, and I think everyone would learn that it is indeed a good interface.

My favorite part of the suite is OneNote. You can use it like a fancy clipboard, but it is much more powerful and useful.

For the price, you can't go wrong with Office Home & Student.

Comments about Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 (Boxed CD):

I was a little nervous about the installation after reading some of the other ratings. However, it was straight forward and I did not have any issues. During the installation, I got a message indicating that I needed another operating system. I was able to load the upgrade pack that I needed and it was smooth sailing from there.

Q:
Why is this offer available only to college students and professors? The company where I was employed for 15 years closed and I am on the job hunt. This would be a great value for me to buy and use to improve my skills. I would have all the most popular software available to use.

  When Windows upgrades the software program it will upgrade the previously owned software to make projects compatible from 2002 excel to the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010.
  All the old 2002 file types will be automatically transferred over to the new 2010 excel format & you will be able to save & open the data without losing any important information.
