MS Office 2013 is a good well-done product. It contains a huge host of capabilities. No one ever uses it all. I rather think that someone coming into MS Office at version 2013 with no experience with any previous versions of Office could review it even better than I can at this point. I have used Office 2003 for many years and have it's menus and procedures well-mastered. So now I come to 2013 where everything is totally discombobulated (sp?). I have a terrible time finding stuff. Once I get used to it it will probably be OK. Since 2013 can do so many things, MS has tried to organize them in a logical way as simply as they can. But at best it's not simple. However, bottom line, it is a good product. I haven't seen 2016, but actually Office 2007 had already moved significantly in the direction where 2013 is now. I think 2010 and 2013 were relatively small steps compared to the jump from 2003 to 2007. But that's history. So, Office 2013, thumbs up.Read full review

MS Office 2013 Professional works well, as described. I enjoy using it. Installation was challenging from the USB: 1) the .exe install program couldn't find the program on the usb memory, which is where the .exe was sitting. Searching folders on the usb found another installation that downloaded from the internet. Over an hour on a slow line. 2) the PKC supplied was for another region. The world is still divided into regions! I contacted MS help on another continent, and spent about half an hour on 'chat' with a very helpful person who stepped me through getting a product key that worked. After this, all was good.

I have a key but Microsoft says it is for a group license and i can't register it. I can open the software and use it but it keeps opening a page saying i need to register it. I suspect I won't be able to download upgrades or security fixes until I can get it to register. there may be a way to get it to register but so far I haven't figured it out. if it were not for the registration issue this would have been a great deal.

Hello software-seekers of the MS/PC type. I wouldn't call myself a computer tecchie/nerd by any means, but I know just enough of the commands for the basics in the softwares I need and commonly use. Partially for finances sake, I installed a new/faster/larger Solid State Drive (SSD) w/help back in Dec. '15, yet operated all this time w/out installing office software.... It's been a miserable 3 months w/out good document editing or even old file retrievals... Now, back in action! I used MS Office Pro 2007 on my old SSD Windows 7OS... Haven't liked either Windows OS 8.1 or 10 on my Lappie, so have stayed with Windows 7 and now Office Pro 2013 on my Dtop. Wow, I must first confess that I haven't been through the other office programs, only the updates this brought to my Email, Internet, Word documentations, and general file retrievals as well as accessing via help of Office '13 to other 3rd party softwares and other programs such as working with music editing. - Has made night/day difference with just basic functions of my system, which is a home use system and most basic business file functions (haven't used Access or Excel or PP yet)... Just in the Word document options is almost maddening. I love it for the flexibility and customization of document/file modifications and layouts or personalization options; but I chose "No" on easy to install as I had to phone in for automated authorztion and what seemed-like an endless and prolonged series of number groupings to approve my Office 2013 (which I'd already paid for and installed the 25 digit installation key when loading onto computer)... It asks "easy to use", I only chose "Yes", because there isn't a middle option; It's actually not terribly easy to set up and begin usage, but once you set/save your seemingly-endless profiles of custom options such as on MS Word, its amazingly capable, stable, and options that may take you the rest of your life to learn just inside one of these various Office programs- Its actually super cool and allows you to even set up documents in foreign languages, such as with Asian-style characters and formatting- Scary, it's like an International Professional Office/Business program.... In fact, I almost thought about the simplicity of getting Office home instead, but ultimately there's no regrets because of the amazing capabilities within this overall software; even though I'm not a large corporate/ Million$$ business tycoon trying to score my next deal.... I think IF you needed it for large-scale mid-administrative or higher-grade corporate work, this software will probably do the trick. Lastly, I'm glad I saved the $$ and the greater difficulty which would have come IF I'd bought the latest and greatest in the 2016 Office. Still, no regrets at all in throwing "lease money" away by wasting it on Office 365 every single month until I got rid of this old, but very fast Dtop beast!... It is a good buy & highly recommended, though not the easiest to install/set up, but then what is in all this new, high-tech super-options technology? Cheers - A. in TexasRead full review

With my Office 2007 Microsoft support ending this year I needed an Office upgrade. The product arrived on time and as advertised. It included specific install instructions and it installed quickly and smoothly. The one problem I had was with the activation code, which turned out to be my error for not reading the supplied instructions closer. Fortunately, a call to the support team got me going and the activation was finished via the Microsoft clearinghouse line.
