Microsoft Office 365 Personal | 12-month subscription, 1 person, PC/Mac Key Card

The last Microsoft Office I used, was the 2007 version. By choice, I haven't worked in several yrs, so I let my subscription expire. I got the opportunity to review the Microsoft Office 365, and thought it was time to get things back on hard copy, and out of paper notebooks. I find that the Office 365 package is a little different than previous 07 version, but still easy to use. It took a little over an hour to install, and gave me six different programs. "Excel" is one program that I wanted, it's a spreadsheet program, and I will be using it to keep track of our budgets, and personal financial data, etc. The "PowerPoint" lets you create awesome slideshows for any group, business or personal. "Publisher" has a large selection of pre-designed templates, to create professional newsletters, marketing materials, or your own greeting cards, and labels, there is virtually no limits. "Outlook" keeps all your data on all your devices, safe from cyber threats, like malware, unsafe attachments, and unknown links. "Word" has technology that corrects spelling, and makes grammar suggestions, and even lets you change your Font style, and size also you can go from pen and paper to digital inking. "Access" is database management for small businesses, you can collect, and track data from multiple sources, like a customer contact list from your desktop, without going through an IT administrator. These programs offer so much more than I can write in this review, and they're all bundled together in the Microsoft Office 365, so if you are a small to medium business owner, this would be one of your best investments, after all, the brain work goes a tad smoother with a little electronic help.

I have long been a fan of the Office Suite! Back in my college days I even took a class that went into depth on each of the products; so I really enjoy each of the products included in the Office Suite. I use Word to type everything from letters to this review, as well as craft cute announcements for things like BBQ's (family or work). Excel I use routinely to manage addresses (so I can import them into Word to create mailing labels with ease) as well as keep our check book. I love, love, love Outlook for my email. Power Point and One Note are great too- though I use them less frequently (our kids use them often for school work, however). I used both of those very frequently in college, as well. I love the tutorials and that the kiddos and I can teach each other different little things on each product as we go along. I love the pin to get into my PC instead of a whole password (helps it boot up much more quickly) and that Microsoft will auto bill me within my account. I definitely recommend the Microsoft Office Suite to everyone- I absolutely love the functionality and advanced technology.
