I keep getting a message at the top saying Microsoft office is moving to the new Office App.


Looks interesting.
 
Speaking of Office. Jirre when did normal Office Pro start costing R9000. Is MS mad.
That is insane, seriously, at some point I am just going to roll over to google docs. But it doesn't surprise me, our rand got fcked really hard, and I doubt it will recover.

LibreOffice is pretty cool. The issue is usually compatibility when read in older versions of MS Office though.

You don't have to pay, I get by with a mix of open source and google docs.

My daughter is looking for Office, mainly for MS Access, as they are doing stuff on it at school. Any Idea how I can get Access without buying Office 2016?

R299 gets you the full package ...

I'd love to know if that's a legal single licence. Methinks someone is reselling Volume keys which is illegal.

You can go for that R300 option that was posted above or it may be worthwhile getting Microsoft 465 Family.


It'll work for up to 6 people and the 1 TB per person OneDrive alone makes it worthwhile in my opinion. All the Office apps are just nice extras.

Can your daughter not get the licence from her school/university? My sister's got access to the entire office suite with her student ms account
 
I don't mind paying for office(most of the time OEM's bundle the license with the laptop), but Adobe Acrobat is where I draw the line-basic functionality, saving as word, highlighting text, signing, and coverting to jpeg shouldn't be hidden behind a paywall. But luckily, most of this can be done with Msedge and the notes app on phones/tablets.
 



The thing that pisses me off about that is that you can get it all on a free illegal route instead of the paying illegal route.

@KleinBoontjie this is also a potential route. However, IIRC, the school must be registered with Microsoft and be in the program, which a lot aren't bothered with.
