Office 2013 Home & Student 32/64-bit

Had to upgrade because my old office did not work with Win 8.1. I always keep up with the latest version of office so this upgrade was a no brainer for me. Ordering online saved me a few dollars above the amount of taxes. Ordering through Walmart is faster than any other venue due to the Site to Store plus the shipping charges. I will continue ordering through Walmart as long as the benefit is real. (Discount plus free shipping plus getting your order is record time = the only way to go.)

I am so glad I purchased the Microsoft software. It was delivered promptly as promised in five days. I needed Word to upload my resume at home instead of going to the library to use Word there so I could spend more time looking for a much needed job online. Thank you Wal Mart!!!!

The is apparently the last version of Microsoft Office that you can buy to own--the future of this suite is on a rental basis only. This version has a lot of features relating to storing your files on the cloud. I guess if you want to make it really easy for the NSA to share your files, that's a good thing. But I don't see why I would want to do this. I don't have that many devices, so it's not that hard to keep them in synch for the files that really matter. I'll be using this for schoolwork. I had tried using OpenOffice before. OpenOffice is good, but the file formats are not as fully compatible with Microsoft as they need to be when you're sharing files with other Microsoft Office users. So this solved my problem at a reasonable price. The interface is basically the standard "ribbon" (which I don't like) with a Metro design (OK, not great, not bad.) Only real negative is that it took forever to install. I'm not sure why. Everything seemed to go quickly at first. Then it got to a point where it said that there were just a few "finishing touches" left. It was over an hour from that point until it finished!

We bought this for our granddaughter for her 13th birthday. She is very happy with it. We had it shipped to the Walmart in S.C. near to where they live. Our son suggested Walmart because he has received good service on the computer he bought there. He reports that it meets all of their expectations for a student computer. Our hope is that it will last her through high school.

You have two ads for MS Office Home and Student 2013. One of them says the product will be delivered online. The other does NOT say that. This led me to believe (I think reasonably) that the one that is NOT delivered online would be delivered by CDs in the box. I ordered that one. I got a box with a slip of paper inside telling me how to download online. Why did the OTHER version say it was an online download, but the one I bought did NOT say that? If you don't say it's delivered online it's reasonable to assume it will come on discs. But it didn't.

I purchased a new computer and the trial had ended for the Office product. I received a much better price and decided to purchase here as opposed to Microsoft. I could not download the software because of the trial version on my system. Utilizing Windows 8 it is no longer a simple process to uninstall this version. I ended up having to contact Microsoft and I had to turn over my computer to the representative. It took him almost 45 minutes to uninstall and another 30+ minutes to install the new version. The guy was great and did a good job which was the only positive to the experience. I had read where other people had experienced similar issues trying to install this product. I fault Microsoft for making a simple install so much of a hassle. I've installed software for more than 20 years and this is the worse I've seen.

Nowhere in the product description does it say what you will be getting. I guess I just assumed I would get installation disks since I was being asked to pay for shipping. All I got was a box with another box inside, with a product key code card inside that. Couldn't this just get sent via email and save everyone a lot of time and resources? Also note that upon downloading Office from the web with my product code I got a notification that Microsoft will no longer support Office 2013 as of April 2014.

So I thought I was getting a program disc to put on my computer. Not the case at all. It takes you to MS Cloud where you can use the programs there. It says you can then download it to 1 computer, but does not tell you how. I now need to hire an IT guy to do it for me. I want to be able to pop in a CD and have it walk me through the download.

First off, I have to complain about Wal-Mart, when I ordered the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 I looked specifically on the page to see if this was one of those download and buy type because I did not want that type of software. So I understood it would be a CD so I ordered the software, when it arrived at my house some days later, I opened the box it arrived in and guess what NO cd disk only the product key, so now I had to go to the Microsoft web site (which by the way was a BIG hassle) download the program and then install the it. Well after installing the program and testing it and decided that I did not like the program what so ever so I went back to my Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 and will stay with it.

I purchased this product believing that it came with a CD, so I could reload it personally if it somehow became corrupted. The product comes in a box, suggesting that there might be a CD or a USB drive in it. It does not. It is merely a cardboard box with a slip of cardboard containing a product key. Then, you must go online and download it, just as if you purchased it from a website, and downloaded it. This product is deceptive packaging, and you should not purchase it. Further, Office 2013 is no significant improvement over Office 2007.
