Free MS Office Suite

I would like to know where I can access Microsoft Word Office Suite, specifically Ms Word, Ms Excel and PowerPoint, for free.

Free Microsoft Office Online, Word, Excel, Powerpoint

Looks to be following google apps online with tie-in to MS' cloud-version.

So maybe this 'free Microsoft Office online' could be considered 'lite' ?

{Heard something about this, due to slow and costly internet access here

dismissed it as impractical ...as hold-hostage scenarios may loom heavily.}

Thank you for locating these free versions, and should be cross-platform. 😉

Not sure about a completely free 365 Office version, or MS Office for Mac.

{See official link below to Microsoft Office/365 Office to buy. - One of these

seems to rely on the Cloud and allows some sharing between iOS/macOS.}

This was the version in discussion elsewhere which you could pay monthly

and use, or pay a higher price and have rights to use a software download.

About Apple Apps: IF your new Mac hasn't any of the 'iWorks' applications

installed or they were discarded, it may be possible to get them free. These

can work to your advantage as they can open documents from MS office.

This is an official Microsoft link to their Office products:

Following is a free 'office-like suite' from other software authors, such as it is:

The Apache OpenOffice may not offer a latest build for macOS Sierra 10.12.x.

There is a mirror or perhaps questionable source here; seems to run up my mac at idle:

Apache OpenOffice | SourceForge.net

So LibreOffice may be adequate; I've not used an office-like suite for Mac OS X in

a long time. My older Macs still have AppleWorks, others have iWorks; newer have

those 'pages/keynote/numbers, etc' as separate named parts, that work together.

I've been looking around awhile, so your thread only had one post about an hour ago

when I started back-checking on any 'microsoft' product. ~ I'd seen topics about an

update to a newer MS version a few years ago, if you'd already bought older one.

Somewhere I've a few early 'Office for Mac' from the dinosaur age, some on CDs.

And a nice MS Word 5.1a on floppy disk. Worked a treat in old Macs...

Good luck & happy trails! 🙂

Check at Microsoft website.

They are not Apple products.

If you only need occasional interchange with others, all the free Apple iWork productivity tools: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote -- can read and write microsoft formats if asked nicely.
