Does anyone use Microsoft Office / Word?

Okay, so basically I either need to buy the subscription or change to Google Docs. I'll consider my options tonight.

Actually you have many more choices, among them you may opt by using Open Office ( https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html ) . It is compatible with MS files, only you will need to learn a bit. There are more choices online to less orthodox MS office users .

Just like Raptor suggested above you have many many other options available, all of them free and not bad at all in terms of functionality, features as well as compatibility with MS Office files, etc etc... 

 

My advice remain the same though, it's just about time to switch to Google Docs.

I always used the unlicensed ones...but after my office 2016 had expired (5 days ago) I can't edit files at all....not that it matters since I've moved my work to google docs for the last 8 months or so and I can download as docx when I'm done

I've looked into Google Docs - I don't see a word count though I need this! Does it have it and if so where is it too?

Aha!! That's perfect. I'm trying out Google Docs for the first time tonight. I'll let you know what I think tomorrow - I'm hoping it's about to save me some money!

Hi coco, here again. I opened a new email in outlook.com (Hotmail - Microsoft) and discovered Microsoft office online is totally free  and you only need an email account, additionally you can storage your docs for free on "OneDrive" both from your PC or mobil if you installed such App.  Get an Outlook email or check  this before if you want: http://www.howtogeek.com/183299/a-free-microsoft-office-is-office-online-worth-using/

 

Or, simply go directly here: https://office.live.com/start/Word.aspx

 

Now I'm using MS Office on my phone and I also tested it on my PC browser and works great
