I've had the MS Office/Word 2003 disks since I bought them years ago. STILL works fine and loads right up and runs on Win11. It has the original mile long bunch of letters/numbers you type into the little boxes to validate the disks, then installs perfectly.
One method to ensure compatibility between various word processing programs is to save documents in RTF (Rich Text Format). This is compatible among almost all word processor programs with only a few special functions such as Small Caps being lost.
Most of the alternatives were unsatisfactory(or at least, I found them to be). The very acceptable alternatives are (depending,...) Jarte, and FreeOffice. Jarte is a word processor which at one time was as a free and as a paid-for edition, and is easy to use if user is not bothered by an interface that is arranged a little differently than MS Word. Jarte is free - no more need to pay for. FreeOffice is the free edition of SoftMaker Office and both of these have the word processing program called, TextMaker.
Softmaker's word processor and spreadsheet are outstanding on Android tablets. Pretty sure they also have an iPad/ iPhone version. I do pay $30 per year, but I use it on Windows, Linux (Mint) and Android.
If you are going to use a free alternative, you should consider Libre Office. It forked from Open Office several years ago. Libre Office continues to have active development while Open Office development has almost stagnated.
I still use Office 2010 Professional on my old desktop and laptop but needed another version for my new desktop build. I purchased Office 2021 Professional Plus. I will note that it gets only security updates, not feature updates like you would get with Microsoft 365. I also was unable to install it without using a Microsoft account (not to log in to Windows, just to install Office). After it was installed I was able to revert to just creating documents with my local Windows account. I did find out that autosave will NOT work on documents stored on my local drive. It will work only on documents stored in a OneDrive account.
If you use Office 365 at work and just want to use the same thing at home, chances are you can login to your work OneDrive account at home and download the full office suite from there, linked to your work login. Your boss probably paid for five installs per employee.
Bro this is the exact reason why people get it the illegal way. All we want is Word and not 4 or 5 other programs that we are never gonna use. Why should I pay for those things If all I need is one program????
@@askleonotenboom what even is that comparison??? A seat is useless without the entire car but Word as a program isn’t. Word doesn’t require all the other Apps to work. See the difference? Your arguments are as bad as your videos.
If you say so. Ultimately you don't like how Microsoft packages their product, forcing you to purchase all apps, rather than just the one you need. Just like car manufacturers "force" you to buy a four seater car, even though you ever only need a care with one seat. Whatever. Then don't purchase Office. Purchase or use something else. There are many MANY alternatives. Or use (only) Word online for free. So many great options, and yet so much complaining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have word 2007 on my old WIN 7 computer. Still works and good enough for me. I have another WIN 10 computer which has Word 2007 and works fine. I dont need any bells and whistles. Just need to wtrie and print letters and envelopes.
I had no problem with 2010 when I upgraded from Win10 to 11. Perhaps a fresh install of 2010 is more difficult, but I would suggest you try again. What problem did you encounter?
@@dkyrtata6688 It won't activate, it won't open encrypted documents and it wants to keep installing features repeatedly. I don't know what else doesn't work.
im using office 365 here i pay for mine pay every october i have the one for up to 5 devices i pay yearly subscription also on a side not not pertaining to this word video there are ppl use prefer to use libre office thats free dont have to pay for it
@@franciscohorna5542 I am using it for ten years now! I can tell you, it's as good as Microsoft Word, plus it's free. Give it a try, if you don't like it, uninstall it. If you like it, you don't have to pay Microsoft. I don't think you won't like it. It's just perfect ;)

Microsoft also offers a compatibility pack to make Office 2003 more compatible with the 2007+ file formats.
me too. 2003 feels much more refined than working with the ribbon. But I do use it for Excel since 2003 Excel did not work properly and often crashed

Libre office is built into the current version of Linux mint. Thank you Leo for all the good advice you continue to provide. 👍

I like Apache OpenOffice. I believe it is just as good as MS Office.

@DrMoriarty-sees-all A: I have no need of opening Word documents. B: I stand by my original comment. C: You have the right to be wrong. It's okay. LOL

This is helpful information, thank you.
You are a boss thank you very much
Thank you.

Is the MS subscription service auto-pay only?
No. They encourage it, but I don't have auto-pay on mine and those of several others.

I'm Still Looking For An App To Open MS Works Files.
In addition to Microsoft Office, I've been told Libre Office and Open Office can open Works files.
I have been using Office 2010 since 2010. But Office 2010 won't install correctly on my new Windows 11 laptop.

Just use Libra office
Why download it? I can just install it from my Office installation CD.
Not everyone has a CD, and the download would be, by definition, the latest version.
everysingle shit like this should be banned from internet, there is only storage nothing else, you cant edit stuff and it bararly works...

Just got notice from MS of my next annual subscription cost increase. 46% INCREASE. Shocked to say the least.
