I know this has been asked many times before but I can¡¯t find the thread. A friend needs Office on his Mac. Where¡¯s the best place to get it. ?
You can get the stand-alone (no subscription) version:
MS Office 2024
$50
MS Office 2019
$25
(Scroll down the page.)
I VERY HIGHLY recommend that before you pay for a copy of Microsoft Office, that you try this amazing FREE product:
FreeOffice (free)
FreeOffice is a really slick clone of Microsoft Office, and is extremely similar. Unlike products like Apple's Pages, FreeOffice offers excellent compatibility with Microsoft format files, both opening them and saving in the Microsoft format! It may suit your needs perfectly, and you can't beat the price.
I've installed FreeOffice for some clients and they can't tell the difference between it and Microsoft Office!
