…… Microsoft office version help

[Macgyver]

So just got a new laptop for the wife and she does not want mo to load the old office 2003 I use on it.
Whats the latest version that does not require a connection to the mother ship to work? I think she use office 360 on her work computer.

That 2003 version I have was like an enterprise version that has no code.

I need to try and find that online in a newer version unless someone here wants to share?

The 2003 version is also what I use, and it saves/opens documents in the .doc formay, and not the current .docx format. Just a money grubbing ripoff from Microsoft. I can live with the 2003 version.

I use 2007, no code required and seems to run everything I throw at it. Word, Excel,& Power Point mostly.
Forgot to add Outlook email, gotta have that.

I use LibreOffice. Same package. Same functions. Free. I stopped being able to load Office from disc a long time back.

I have it and use it but that's not going to appease the spousal unit.

He's been gone a long time.

Probably in a museum now.

I wasn't exactly happy about it. But I wasn't willing to pay for Microsoft 365 on a monthly basis, and by the time my last option for using Office died, that was all that was left. I really hate the SaaS business model. I have enough bloody monthly bills as it is.
During the gap, I tried Google's alternative. But I don't like working in the cloud. So I finally loaded LibreOffice. And I don't regret it.

Office 2019.

I agree. Buy Office for Home and Student 2019 online. Seen for about 22 bucks.

I still use Office 2003 because I have a lot of Access databases, and I want to "own" my data, not pay a yearly rent just to be able to access them. And it's not like MS has come up with much innovation since 2007. Just putting lipstick on a pig. And that's why I use Postgresql instead of SQL Server - just as powerful and my data can't be held hostage.

If you want free access forever to your own docs and spreadsheets, get Libre Office.
