We show you free alternatives, including free trials and light or mobile versions of the Microsoft Office suite. We can think of a few reasons why you should use free Office Online instead of paying Microsoft to use Word. For starters, you can access documents through a web browser on any computer. It also accurately retains Microsoft Word formatting unlike other apps.
When you need an offline office suite, fully installed on your own PC, then good old Office is still your best bet. The Office Preview can be downloaded and installed to your Windows or Mac computer, without paying anything or even having to save your credit card information somewhere for a future payment.
However, the Office Preview is only available on a trial basis for a limited amount of time— days from when you install it. That said, Office has smart and subtle changes that make it a more powerful application than ever before. And in Word, you will also get real-time co-authoring, for actual collaborative work. We show you the new look and features of the world's most popular productivity suite. Will you upgrade? More on that at the end of this article.
Recently, Microsoft is making great apps for Android and even on iOS. The Redmond giant has separated its Office suite into individual apps on mobile operating systems, so you can actually download a full-fledged version of Microsoft Word without needing to get Excel, PowerPoint, and the others. Perhaps the best part about Microsoft Word on mobile is how well it represents documents filled with charts and graphics.
This has historically been a problem on most mobile office suites, but such files show up perfectly on Word Mobile, scroll through smoothly without lagging, and are smartly optimized for mobile screens. Indeed, the new Word Mobile apps show why Microsoft is king of the office suites and not Google Docs. Note: If you are on an older version than Android 4. If you temporarily need the full version of Word installed on your PC or Mac, you should go with an Office subscription. Until a few years ago, buying Microsoft Office was a one-time cost, but a hefty one.
Now, Microsoft has embraced the subscription model, which actually increases the price but makes a lot of sense if you are using Office on multiple computers for your whole family. Plus, there are some cool freebies packaged with it. So why should you be willing to pay more? Office is a subscription based package that offers access to the latest desktop Office suite, Office Online, cloud storage, and premium mobile apps.
