MS Office 2013 is rather awful, IMHO.

If you get stuck perhaps you can buy Office 2010 or 2007 on Amazon. I had a full blown copy of MS Office Professional 2013 and I sold it prior to ever opening it as it likes to disable all previous versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and the like.

I run 2003, 2007 and 2010 version of MS software. I WILL NOT install 2013.

Not trying to be a downer, just trying to inform...

Good luck!

Thanks, it worked great until the computer didn’t. I’m now on my way to getting it back.

“I run 2003, 2007 and 2010 version of MS software. I WILL NOT install 2013”

Really???

2013 fixes a number of problems created by 2010. 2003 was good. 2007 was an ugly upgrade. 2010 fixed a few things but broke a few more things as well. 2013 finally gets it right.

The only thing that I find frustrating in 2013 is I can no longer nativley access Dbase DBF files from Access. You have to use a third party ODBC driver.

Also Office 365 subscription/cloud based product is awesome. 1 subscription for $99 per year and I can install it on 5 computers, 5 tablets, and 5 phones! You get 50 gig on One drive and if any device dies I can remove that deivce and reinstall it on a new device in minutes.
