Probably Really Thick Question re: MS Office

dondo

Hi all

Have just bought a new laptop and will be looking at buying MS Office for it.

Now not sure if this is a really thick question but my wife and I will be both using the laptop as seperate users as such- do I need to buy a version of Office that's for more than 1 user even though it's on the same laptop?

Cheers in advance

Before you buy anything check out Open Office which you can get for free.

The answer to your question is no; the license is for a single machine rather than a single user in this context.

There's also LibreOffice to consider.

That's all I want to say, but 'your message is too short' so I will add some extra words at the bottom of this to satisfy someone's requirements

Open Office is no longer supported - following several legal disputes the majority of those who used to work on it have moved over to LibreOffice.

The site should pick up on your regional settings automatically.

Apache got their hands on it a while ago so it should be getting some TLC in the not-too-distant future.
