Having Microsoft Office on your computer is almost essential these days. With this family of apps, you\u2019ll be able to write and edit documents with Microsoft Word, create and organize spreadsheets with Excel, create slideshows and presentations with PowerPoint, and more. However, Microsoft Office typically costs $150 for a one-time installation, or between $70 and $100 a year for a subscription. If you\u2019re not willing to spend that much, here are a few ways you can get Microsoft Office for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Microsoft Office for the Web<\/h2>\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to get Microsoft Office for free is to use the online version. Also known as \u201cOffice for the web,\u201d this free online office suite allows you to use Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you won\u2019t be able to access several advanced features, like Access and Publisher, Office for the web lets you take advantage of other interesting features. For instance, you\u2019ll be able to share your documents with your teammates and work on them together in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t need to install anything on your computer to use Office for the web, but you will need to have a reliable internet connection to access your files. That means you can access your work files using any web browser on any computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started with Office for the web, all you have to do is head over to Office.com<\/a> using any web browser. Then log in with your Microsoft account and select the app you want to use.  If you don\u2019t have a Microsoft account, you can create one for free, and you\u2019ll also get 5GB of free storage on OneDrive.<\/p>\n\n\n

Download the Microsoft Office Mobile App<\/h2>\n\n\n

Another easy way to get Microsoft Office for free is to download the Office mobile app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. This mobile app is free to use, and it comes with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in one app. This means you\u2019ll be able to create, edit, view, and share documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, without having to switch back and forth between apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these features, you\u2019ll also be able to take advantage of several unique mobile features. For example, you can take a picture of a printed document and transform it into a digital Word or Excel file. Then you can edit the text in the app, add it to a PowerPoint presentation, and send it as an email attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you can get a Bluetooth keyboard and connect it to your device to make typing easier. This way, you won\u2019t have to take your laptop with you when you go on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can download the Office mobile app from the Apple App Store<\/a> on your iPhone or iPad, or from the Google Play Store<\/a> on an Android device. If you want to know more about the Microsoft Office app for iPhone and Android<\/a>, check our previous article here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a student, a teacher, or a school faculty member, you might be able to download Microsoft Office for free. But this only works if you have a valid email address from your school that ends with \u201c.edu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out whether you\u2019re eligible to get Office 365 Education, all you have to do is enter your school email address on the education section of Microsoft\u2019s official website<\/a>. As an alumnus, you can also get Office 365 for an entire year for only $1 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re done entering your email address, you can download Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for free. You\u2019ll also be able to take advantage of Microsoft Teams and other very useful classroom tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a teacher, you can use Microsoft Teams to give assignments, provide feedback, and grade your student\u2019s work. And, if you plan to use it to work from home, you can use it to invite your workmates to meet, chat, call, and work together all in a single place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
