Completely free and it works! Only downside is that this does not work offline.

[@EverydayApple1984]

That’s a good point. I should’ve mentioned that in the video because that would be a downside for some.

[@callmeNeno]

I am waiting to purchase the one time purchase for one Mac. Office 2024 Home & Student, but it has not come out yet. I am all in Apple’s ecosystem . I just need Word or Excel on occasion.

[@EverydayApple1984]

Using office.com for free might be a good option for you until office 2024 comes out! Especially for occasional use.

[@callmeNeno]

@@EverydayApple1984 Sounds good! I purchased yearly subscription which is coming for "Personal" for renewal.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

Microsoft wants to get rid of one-time fee and force everyone on a subscription, so don't hold your breath.

[@frankeg568]

Thanks it was helpful

[@stevenm2949]

Can you save a word document onto your hard drive with the free version and email it to somebody?

[@EverydayApple1984]

Yes, you can download your file and then send it to whoever you want.

[@firequeen7872]

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it! Subbed!

[@RahulKhandelwal.official]

In case if I use this on my MacBook, will I be able to transfer (or save) the files from the given Microsoft storage of 5 GB to my MacBook storage??

[@EverydayApple1984]

Yes, you can download your files to your MacBook from the Microsoft storage.

[@RahulKhandelwal.official]

Thank you for the reply.

[@mynokia7475]

So what is difference between this free online Microsoft service (as shown in the video) & the one which Microsoft provides free for STUDENTS (those who signup student id) ? I too have a student mail id, so should i login with student id or as you shown in the video? Which will be more beneficial?

[@EverydayApple1984]

There’s a big difference, and you should definitely go with the free education plan with your valid student ID. With that, you get the full desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, and Publisher. Plus, 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage. Take advantage of that student ID while you have it!

[@mynokia7475]

@@EverydayApple1984 gottcha. With student id version we get to install the office app into our system+1tb of onedrive, where as the regular free version just gives the Microsoft office 360 services online with 5gb of the onedrive.

[@MinecraftBuildingCreation-u3f]

You should login with your school/university email bc they might offer the full suite to you for free meaning the school could possible have bought office for you

[@adarzailin]

Thank you soooo much! It works.

[@francislayton76]

A HUGE RED FLAG!! When attempting to set up a Microsoft Account the following MS permissions, which I would have to agree to, came up before I could proceed: "Your important things are right here. When you sign in, things like your contacts, passwords, favorites, browsing history, and photos and files are available across Microsoft products." WOW! This is so very risky and makes anyone with an account very vulnerable to identity theft. So what's a suitable and less risky alternative?

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

Pages. Numbers, Keynote

[@EverydayApple1984]

I always prefer Apple Pages, but this video is for people who need/want to use MS Office, but don't want a paid subscription for it. FYI That message you saw is just saying that if you choose to use their "contacts, passwords, favorites, browsing history, and photos and files" services that those things will be available to your wherever you log in to use MS services. It doesn't mean that those things are somehow publicly accessible.

@@Äpple-pie-5k I have discovered that the open source LibreOffice is a great alternative as well.

[@EverydayApple1984]

Yes, LibreOffice is a good option too and I've explored that in the past!

[@Snaerffer]

Microsoft 365 cost per year: AUD$159. Microsoft Office 2024: AUD$219 which works out at about $44 a year if the next paid upgrade is five years again. Why on earth would anyone limit themself to the free web version or purchase 365 at this price?

[@EverydayApple1984]

I think the simple answer to that is that they only need Microsoft Office on rare occasion and don’t want to spend any money at all in order to do that. That’s my exact use case.

[@Snaerffer]

@ Probably right. I’d be happy paying $40 a year for the convenience.

[@expwithkem]

Need microsoft to release an access port that's the only thing I'm missing

[@Jezza3110]

Nice - Thanks 👍

[@larrychiswell1765]

i tired to get the free version today but the free option you refer to is not there. am I misisng something?

[@EverydayApple1984]

If you go to office.com you should see a link underneath the two rectangular buttons. The link says "Sign up for the free version of Microsoft 365". I double checked today in a private browser window where I am not already signed in to Microsoft and it's there. Take a look at the :45 mark of my video to see that link. Once you sign up for an account through there, you can use the free web version of Office 365.

[@meghnad_]

good info

[@korzkaz4479]

is it just a one month free trial or lifetime ?

[@EverydayApple1984]

It’s not a trial, but of course they could change the way it works any time, so I hesitate to use the word, “lifetime”.

[@widelinejoseph6629]

I can’t, please help me 🙏🏾

[@EverydayApple1984]

What trouble are you having? Be sure you follow the steps in the video!

[@maureeneskandar289]

Does it also have shape format? I tried but it doesn’t work

[@EverydayApple1984]

To insert a shape, you have to go to the Insert menu, and choose "Drawing". Then you can create shapes. To edit them, you have to right-click on them and choose "Edit Drawing". It's a little clunky, but you can insert and format shapes.

[@janisb.8720]

Isn't that just a trial version? 30 days or smh?

[@EverydayApple1984]

No, it’s not a trial. As long as you stay within the storage limit for a free account, you’re good.

[@Äpple-pie-5k]

look at the url carefully once he gets in, and bookmark that

[@manjular6553]

​@@EverydayApple1984 files are downloable? After we edit documents??

[@EverydayApple1984]

Yes, you can download them to your local device at any time. Also keep in mind that while you’re working online, your files are saved automatically in OneDrive.

[@ComputerEng-r6j]

i think i should switch to windows...😔😔

[@EverydayApple1984]

Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for doing that. But what prompted you to say that here?

[@EckertAndras]

LibreOffice 4ever!

[@Abhilashkp]

this is trial version after few months .. this will screw u in the back.

[@EverydayApple1984]

That is incorrect. This is not a trial version unless you sign up for a trial version for the paid package. There’s a free version and that is what you have to sign up for. Follow the steps in the video.
