I agree .....

I bought MSO 2016, but only because I always use MS Office anyway, although I've tried other products.

Many free office products are more than adequate for most uses.

Re: Cheap Microsoft office?

Thank you.
I'm not very computer savvy, so the basic stuff is fine. I just thought if it was a lot better i'd get it while it's cheap.

As Purwell says, if you only do word processing and spreadsheets, Open Office/Libre will do the trick. In my case I need more features such as Outlook, Access and Publisher occasionally so this offer was a bargain.

Re: Cheap Microsoft office?

I uninstalled OneDrive as I have no need for it being a Google Drive user. The OD seems to be more bother than it's worth?

OneDrive is not a problem - it's the Office 2016 interface to it that's causing the problem ..... well, more of an annoyance really .....

Re: Cheap Microsoft office?

I find OneDrive OK, but Dropbox has the annoying habit of automatically saving files when I update them.

Then, when I do what I routinely do and drag-copy the updated file from my computer to Dropbox, I find that it is saved as '(file name)-copy'.

Again, an inconvenience as I should really remember to check first, but I'd like to be able to turn off the automatic copy facility but cannot. The Dropbox people haven't bothered to reply to my query.

Re: Cheap Microsoft office?

Thanks, Omah,

Oddly, my Office 2016 was set to update automatically, but I told it to look to see if any were available.

And there were.

It was the same for me so I'll have to do a weekly/monthly check .....
