Microsoft Office<\/a> is a bundle of software programs<\/strong> for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. They have different bundles available geared to different users and support Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the premium version of Microsoft Office does come with a hefty price tag and subscription. No wonder people have wondered how to get Office for free.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Use Office.com<\/h2>\"How

    Microsoft<\/span> offers the basics of their programs for <\/span>free<\/span> on their official site. Unfortunately, this is not the full-featured version of the programs, but if you only need the basics, this will be enough for you. Another consideration with this option is that you will have to be online and have an active internet connection to use the programs and work on your documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. Microsoft Apps<\/h2>\"How

    Microsoft<\/span> Office<\/span> has also released app versions of their programs for <\/span>free<\/span> on the app store. Similar to the versions on <\/span>Office<\/span>.com, these are not full of the features you would find on the premium paid-for version. However, if you just need the programs for essential <\/span>Word<\/span>, <\/span>Excel<\/span> and Powerpoint, using the mobile version is sufficient and <\/span>free<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  3. Enrol in Office 365 Education<\/h2>\"How

    Students and educators can access a few of the <\/span>Office<\/span> programs for <\/span>free<\/span> by signing in with a valid school email address. The programs included with this offer are <\/span>Word<\/span>, <\/span>Excel<\/span>, Powerpoint and One Note. This enables students to use the full versions of these programs to enhance and improve their education. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  4. Make Use of the Trial Version<\/h2>\"How

    Microsoft<\/span> Office<\/span> offers a one-month trial to all users to use the full versions of the programs for one month before committing to a subscription. So, if you only need all the features for a single project or a few projects that can be completed within a month, then this might be a worthwhile option for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/div>
