Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Office & Business
I only need word and excel -- not the rest of the microsoft office package. I have a 3 computer household. This product lets me put the products we use on all 3 for about half what it would cost to buy 3 full packages.

This rating is only for the product. The retailer did a fine job. I purchased this because I bought a new Windows 8 laptop and Office 2003 would not load and would not transfer using Laplink. Therefore if I wanted to keep using Office I had to upgrade. I have resisted all versions after Office 2003 because Microsoft has taken an excellent interface that I had used for years and transformed it into something that made little sense from a user's standpoint and meant I had to learn programs I used every day, primarily Word and Excel, all over again. Reviews of Office 2013 were so scathing that I decided against that version, and picked this as a compromise. I deplore what Microsoft has done to a perfectly good user interface. This version adds nothing I needed. Fortunately, i found an add-in that supports the traditional menus, which makes the program at least usable.Read full review
Great product, but why do I have to buy it again ? I just hope this will be the last time ? This was part of the original software package on my computer. Very helpful, very useful, and worth the money but a second time ? Sorry I am just pissed I have to buy it again ?
I followed the instructions for downloading. After downloading it would not work. Went through several days of frustration and found an item on the internet to go through an advanced download and it finally worked. After downloading I found that you have to uninstall the old version PRIOR to downloading 2010. Can't uninstall afterwards. This makes everything pretty slow. These are all issues that Microsoft built into the program. It works well, but it is very slow to upload when Word, Excel, etc., are opened. If not for these issues it would be perfect.
MS Office H&S 2010 is one of the last "buy it and own it" products from Microsoft. Everything is now subscription based so MS has a forever revenue stream. I will continue to buy the older Legacy products like this until they are not available. Buy it and use it forever for one price, not pay, pay, pay.
