What version of Microsoft Office do you use?

[cmlusco]

I use office 2013 pro just because im one of those type of people who likes to have the latest and grestest. However if i would have had to pay for it, i would still be on 2010 which came with one of my pc's. Hell for that matter id still be on windows 7 lol.

actually i still like office 2003 better than them all, easy to use, you do not have to dig to find everything, I do not like the ribbons, but oh well it will not work on windows 8, i installed it and it cried

Does it fail during install or fail while launching?

:info: Me I use Office 2007,although I have tried all of them I'm used to using it and have set^ the way I want,so I see no reason to change.I do use 2003 on my older laptop and really I don't see much difference except for changing from DOC to DOCX,I still save all in DOC cuz I think it makes it easier for others to open when they don't have the latest greatest software installed, but I'm not sure if it helps or not but its what I want.

Robin,

Huh? My copy of 2003 works perfectly on Win8. What sort of problem did you run into?

If O2003 wouldn't work on Win8 that would absolutely have been a deal breaker for me. Win8 is fine on this system but I'm always just a hair away from going back to Win7. There's just no advantage on the desktop for it but it lives on my machine because it's giving me no trouble.

failed on install. Came back and said. " this version of office cannot be installed on this version of Windows"
It was no buggy. I have 5 licenses for office 2010 so I just put that on

this was office 2003 pro

you can try setting the installer to compatibility mode to windows 7

Microsoft Office 2007 Professional.......

Ah! The first in a new line of great Office products! Enjoy it.

Office 2010 Professional Plus SP1 (32-bit, for compatibility) on all my PCs....Win7 and Win8. I got it with my TechNet subscription back when Win7 came out, and it still works great. I see no new must-have features in the new 2013.

I tried that also, no biggy, as said i have 2010 on it
but i have 2003 on 5 other machines so if i get frustrated with 2010 i just go onto those

I beta tested 2013 and I do not like it at all and you are correct I really did not see a major difference between the two

Basically 2013 is a flattened 2010.

Robin,

Hmm ... odd. Though this system was an upgrade with O2003 on it already I installed it on several versions of Win8 during the Release Preview process and it never had any problem. I'm using O2003 Professional.

It might have just been a quirk, if I get another windows 8 machine, I might just try it again
