Office 365 Personal Accounts. If you have Office 365 Home (the $99/year subscription service), you’ll be able to add multiple Microsoft accounts to your desktop apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Jango Flatstein, Everything and the Sink But.I've been using Word now as a professional writer since spring 1988 when I bought my first Mac. There's no doubt that Word is the most powerful document creating application out there. However, I am seriously weirded out by it these days. As a writer, I tend to work on anywhere from a dozen to two or three dozen stories, essays, and articles every week.
It used to be that I could just quit the app with whatever open and when I logged back on everything would boot up automatically. For the past good while (can't remember how long) that option seems gone.
Yes, there is the 'Recently Open' command, but I don't have time nor do I want to waste my limited intelligence trying to remember what was open and why. You'd think at least that there would be a startup page option letting you choose to re-open what was open. Not happening. I've written to Microsoft on this problem several times.
No response back that I know of. That is a problem with being too big to care. I've got my methods for getting around this issue, of course, but still, they require thinking about something trivial that I really don't want to waste my brain on.

Thanks for reading! Natedawggh, Where to Begin.You'd think that people who have been designing software for decades would know how to make a program function well. That is not the case with Microsoft word. Yes, it has functions that other word processors don't.

I downloaded it specifically to use the 'Compare Documents' function which Pages does not have. It crashed on me four times in the first five minutes and even made my Mac freeze. The promotion on the app store claims it's 'Beautiful,' but the conception of beauty over at Micosoft is definitely not one to which I subscribe. There are so many windows, menus, buttons, and graphics it's an assault on my vision. I cannot easily understand where to go or which menu to navigate to find the things I'm looking for. OVERDESIGNED is the appropriate word for this piece of crap, which brings up multiple windows for opening documents, and the compare function kept asking me for access to documents I wasn't even using. I do not understand how a company with as much history as Micosoft can put out such a total piece of garbage, and if it weren't for this one feature I would never have downloaded it in the first place, and am thankful I will never have to use it again except in similar emergencies.
Meyers.Family, Improving All the TimeI am not sure why all the negative reviews for this. Yes, this is the same subscription model that has been around a few years. $70 for single license, $100 for family licenses.
You won't get anything for free. Don't forget that you are also getting 1 TB of OneDrive Cloud space for each of the family members on the license. That is a great deal when you look at having to also purchase other cloud drive subscriptions.Some reviewers stated that it 'BROKE' their current installation of Office. Any program that updates from a prior version erases the old version.
If you don't like the newer version, delete and reinstall from your prior version installation disks.I have always found Microsoft Word to be stable, across all my devices, whether on the puny MacBook Air to my fully loaded iMac.
