But hey, that doesn’t mean you have to pay for it to use! Yes, there are multiple ways to use
Microsoft Office for free, and without — or to some extent — having to compromise any premium
features.
And that’s what Microsoft is doing — gradually expanding the numbers of Microsoft apps you can
access and use online for free.
Office Online offers all the essential web-app version of the Microsoft Office Suite for free.
Word
Excel
PowerPoint
OneNote
Sway
Outlook
People
Calendar
OneDrive
It’s really easy. Go to this webpage, pick an app you want to use for free, and sign in to your
Microsoft account to get things started. And even if you don’t have Microsoft account, you can
always create one for free. However, if you are already signed into your Microsoft account, you can
directly visit Office.com to choose the free Office web-apps.
However, you have to settle for fewer premium features. The Office Online doesn’t offer full-fledged
features; you’ll be missing features like Text boxes, Equations, WordArt, Charts and more in Word
Online. Plus, to the downside, you’ll always have to online to use it for free.
But doing the simple tasks like opening the files, editing them and syncing them to your OneDrive
won’t be a problem.
And Microsoft comes with all the office suite available for as mobile app versions! The Office
Mobile allows similar features to what the Office Online offers!
