I no longer use Windows and I believe, that for the kinds of things that I do, Chrome OS is a much more productive and easy to support environment. Thanks for being my Chrome OS mentor!
Agree! Windows is just so clunky and inefficient. It always takes 5 more steps to do anything. I like Mac OS but not for $1000+. Chromebooks are phenomenal compromise and all I ever use anymore.

Yes. The tools are there as we use this app and Google Docs in my classrooms. You are missing WordArt in this version of MS Word, however, so we tend to use Google Docs more often

This is a great review! I'm a computer teacher, and I teach an advanced computer course to my esl students and I teach them how to use Microsoft office. However, a Chromebook is not ideal for my class because the Chromebook apps do not have all of the features available to complete certain challenges I have for them to complete.
Thank you for the comment. I use Google drive and Google Docs to create and edit. I use to instruct a Microsoft Office class, but switched to Google back in 2010. We now have found all of the functionality in Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides as we see in MS Office.
why did i purchase microsoft 365 personal so i can use on my new chromebook only to not be able to use on my new chromebook? I was able to add to CB via web store however via play store it wont allow due to not compatible? what gives what am i doing wrong? thanks!
Microsoft recently placed a limit on their Play Store app. If the app is used on a computer with a screen size of 10 inches, it will require a 365 account. For this reason, I am now only using option #1 as seen in the video.
@@selmateacher7 Would you recommend LENOVO Chromebook C330 in 2022. I still have work in Excel. Both offline and online. I would really appreciate your reply. Thanks.
@@krishnaprasad4325 LENOVO makes a good Chromebook. You are able to create and edit excel spreadsheets with MS Office online, or you may do the same with Google Sheets, and that works offline.
@@selmateacher7 Very Glad to hear from you. Thank you so much for the advice. I will watch other videos too and share our educational groups. Best Regards.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Anyway, as far as I know we cannot get the desktop version anymore in Chromebook even if we have 365 account, started in sometimes Oct 2021. I have tried to get it from Play store, does not work.
Have you tried by going directly to the web site: I just went to the website directly and I was able to open word on my Chromebook. The address I used was: www.office.com/?auth=1
Yes. It is possible to create new blank docs this way. In fact, in the video, it shows the option called "New Black Doc" right when you first open the Word extension app. I just did it and it shows it on the first screen when it opens.
Yes. Microsoft changed their apps a few years ago. They are used online. But Google Docs, sheets, etc, can be used offline on the Chromebook, as seen in my other videos on the topic. Both MS Office and Google Drive are free and can create, edit, and share MS word documents.
Here is the link I use to put Microsoft Word, which allows you to use all of the Office Apps, on y student's Chromebooks: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-online/fiombgjlkfpdpkbhfioofeeinbehmajg
Thank you for the questions. Yes, It supports editing and has all of the tools as you can see in my other videos on this topic. I use Google Docs more now, as it works offline on my Chromebook and I do use the Stars features, to let me know word count, etc. I use the Active voice assistive writing feature as it can help detect the passive voice in a phrase or sentence and replace it within Docs for free. For MS Word on a Chromebook, goto, Review, Editor, Review Tools to find the option. You will need to sign into your 365 account to activate Percentage Passive Voice.
Hello Mr. Berry need some help here, so I have watched the video and followed your instructions. However when I go to, Chrome Web Store to add office, I am not seeing "office" what I am seeing is " Office-enable copy and paste", however when I scroll further down I can see word, excel and powerpoint as you have shown in the video. Why am I not seeing "Office".
Thank you for the question. Microsoft changes their apps on the Chrome store often. I have the free Microsoft Office app on my Chromebook, but you may install Word, Excel, and Powerpoint independently to get the same result. In fact, once one of their apps is installed, you will have access to your Microsoft drive, that has links to all of the Office apps.
I'm a bit confused. I have an Acer Chromebook but found that some documents were read only ie limited access. Storage is always flashing up as low, too, even though I'm using a Dongle. So I just bought Microsoft 365 but as I don't use Excel or Powerpoint (and am unlikely to do so) could I have managed with the free version? I use Chrome OS and don't have Windows. I've gone back to studying so am anxious to get a good Word programme.
I use the free version and I do not find any documents that were read only. I do save my documents on local storage, as well as in the cloud, yet I have not used up the cloud storage. I also use Goggle Docs to open and edit my MS Word documents, often as it has all of the formatting tools as you can see in my computer class videos, where I instruct my students on how to get the most out of Google Docs.
Hi! I was able to add in chrome the office extension however when I try to add word, excel and powerpoint online, it says it is no longer available and visits the website. There's no option to install it anymore. Did I miss anything or can you give a workaround? Thank you!
Hello again! I have a question & need your expertise! LOL Although I have a PC, I think I would like to try a Chromebook for the first time. I have Microsoft 365 but just purchased the Creative Cloud Photography Subscription that includes Photoshop. I do a lot of work in Photoshop. Would you PLEASE recommend a Chromebook that can manage those powerful apps online. I'm clueless when it comes to the Chrome option. You are not responsible in any way for my purchase. However, which one would you recommend or the system requirements that are mandatory for a pleasant work experience. I love your videos & teaching style. I'm a subscriber. Thanks SO much! 💛
In truth any Chromebook with 8GB of RAM and a faster Intel CPU, should work well. I used the CB715 to create videos, now I am using an HP14a with a slower CPU and I do notice the difference in performance. So I recommend a Chromebook with an Intel core i processor, 8 GB of RAM . Other options to be aware of are storage capacity, but I use ext storage when creating videos, so it is not a game breaker. The CB715 with an Intel Core i processor, 8 GB RAM should do the job as long as you have fast internet..
@@selmateacher7 I'm not techie...... so do I still get the full functionality of the Microsoft 365. But I just need to access it from the browser, which means I always need to be connected to wifi or tethered to my phone?

small note... Running office programs in the chrome browser basically has nothing to do with the operating system... of course this also works on any windows pc

What? It should work if you use the Chrome Web Store. Here is the link for you... chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/office/ndjpnladcallmjemlbaebfadecfhkepb?
There are two versions. The free version does not have word art. To get wordart and all of the features of 365, then use Google Drive, Doc, and Sheets, as you see in my other videos, showcasing the better features now found in Google Docs, sheets and slides.

I am here to help. Microsoft changed the app, but you can still find it. Here is the direct link. You can get to all of the Office apps and Drive via Word: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-online/fiombgjlkfpdpkbhfioofeeinbehmajg
I followed your directions. Thank you for your video. For some reason Chrome Web Store says these apps are "No Longer Available". Do you know what to do next?
It also says it is compatible with my device, so I am confused. All I seem to be able to do on my laptop is get some goofy read only version that looks like my cell phone. I was able to use this as recently as a few months ago on my laptop. PS. I have a Samsung Chromebook if that helps.
Updating the Chrome OS is automatic. When an update is ready, you will see an arrow in the notification area, next to the time. click it and the system will update and restart.
Instead of Word can I download Google Doc on the chrome book from playstore as it is free to use and if I can then will i be able to save the file offline ? And work offline on it ?
@@Omkar.2002 yes, here is a list of a few of mine. That is something I teach in my computer lit. classes. www.youtube.com/@selmateacher7/search?query=google%20docs

Hi, I've followed the instructions to open Microsoft word on my chromebook, word opened but when I clicked on "New Blank Document" to start it can up with the message "Can't open this document File appears to be corrupt" how do I fix this?
I am sorry to hear of that. There are a number of things that can cause that, even though I have not seen that message in the last 10 years and that was with a file that was already created. Not a new blank doc. Are you using a Chromebook or a Windows computer? If you are using a Windows machine, the steps are listed here: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-a-document-after-a-file-corruption-error-47df9d48-2165-4411-a699-1786ac734bc3
Whenever I'm on the online version of office, if I try to open Word for example, OneDrive pops up and then says "Yo need to have the app installed". I don't understand why this happens :/ Ty for the video ❤
See if you have the Office extensions by clicking on the puzzle piece found in the top right hand side of the browser. When you click on the grey puzzle piece, a pull down menu should appear. Office should be one of the options. If you click on the blue pin next to the "Office" icon, then it should pin the apps to the top of the browser. You may then open the apps that way.
So regardless of Microsoft not supporting Excel, I’m 100 percent able to download it on a new chrome book I purchase? It’s for work and I’m worried it won’t work.
It still doesn't look the same as the original version from windows, mac or Microsoft laptops. There are not all tools such as ''add citation'' on reference or recording audio/video straight in PowerPoint.
Have you tried changing the options in the "view" tool? I still see the tools when I just opened the app on my Chromebook. Be sure that the app is set to edit and not just view, as that will also hide the tools.
i think i have exact the same Chromebook as you have but i have problems adding the apps word and excel. I get the message: Device not compatible (but than in Dutch)
That Chromebook should work well. I just looked up the model number and it has the Chrome Web Store. Do you find the Chrome web store on your Chromebook? Also, to see the link to the apps, you may click on the puzzle piece found in the upper right hand corner of the browser, and then click on the Microsoft Office icon, found there. It will open and show all of the Office apps, if you do not have icons in your App launcher.
I get the same thing not available for Chrome os. I also have an issue of the word documents being converted to Google docs is there a fix for this or can I delete Google docs all together?
I use both Word and Google Docs back and forth for my work, without any issues. Please try the online version of MS Word and see if it works. It should work. If it is still giving you problems, I will be here to help.
Here is the direct link. It will open the Word app, which is able to open all of the other office apps. i.e. Excel... powerpoint.. chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-online/fiombgjlkfpdpkbhfioofeeinbehmajg
sorry sir im using dell chromebook 11,it dosent have playstore and when im searching using web store their is no office by microsoft office :( ,im a noob with this chromebook and this chrome os, any suggestion how to install playstore in my chromebook

Hi, thanks for your video. I purchased a Acer Spin 311 Chromebook. However, while opening office, say word, it direct to onedrive to create the file but returned "Can't open, file may be corrupted." Going to Onedrive directly, the file is found and created. So, I click the file at Onedrive, it can open but it is read only, meaning the word environment at has no upper tab "File, Insert, Design, Layout, .. etc" But it won't be happen and go normal if I used Windows 10 / 11. After watching your video, I follow your guidance and installed via Chrome Web Store for Office, Word online, Excel online. After all, the issue is still the same "File cannot be open, may be corrupted" and the file is here but read only (look like the word online is reader). I am not Office 365 subscriber, do you have any tips or idea? Many thanks.
Update: I just found the issue behind. Since I installed OneDrive app on the Chromebook. The default file manager show underneath OneDrive is "READ ONLY". Then, I uninstalled this app and try the above again. The issue is resolved and the file is editable. Can it be possible with OneDrive App installed but make the file Not "READ ONLY"? Thanks.
I know that Microsoft has a limitation of files being 'read only' on devices larger than 10.1 inches. I normally only use the web version of Microsoft for that reason. . See more here: support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-you-can-do-in-the-office-apps-on-mobile-devices-with-a-microsoft-365-subscription-9ef8b63a-05fd-4f9c-bac5-29da046833ea
Thank you for the question. It will take data, but the amount depends on if the document size, as well as if you are using images within the doc. I have found that it is still a small amount of data usage.
Just got my chromebook and was told I could install and run a full fledged MS Office suite on it. I had to go in search of someone like yourself on the web to find out how. I tried to follow your first medthod but it keeps bringing back to an online office place. I need power point and although I see I can use it online, for the life of my I cannot find "Presenter View". Am I missing something?
I am sorry to hear of the trouble. Here is the direct link to their App from the Chrome Web store. chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-online/fiombgjlkfpdpkbhfioofeeinbehmajg
Im a high school student and I am doing K12 Online School. I am in a Microsoft class and I have a Chromebook so my Microsoft is different. I have not been able to get it to work so I was trying to find a video to help. I did what you did but on any app when I click on creat new, it says that it can not do that right now and tells me to try opening one from one drive but when I click that it just sends me to the same place and does the same thing.
As this is merely the Online app, not the Desktop version, you will be missing a lot of features in MS Word. And even if you go premium, you will still be missing advanced features, like the Developer mode tab, which would enable you to program the app to your liking and add in custom stuff. If you are the typical office/student/work user, then Chromebook will be good enough. But if you are more into the Developer/Programmer side of things and you want more bang for your buck, I think a Windows OS, Mac OS or Linux OS will do much better than Chrome OS. They all have administrator privileges, but Chrome OS doesn't allow administrator privileges.
Interesting take on that. You make a valid point about the limitations of using an online app version of Microsoft Word compared to the desktop version. The desktop versions do indeed offer a wider range of features and customization options, including the Developer mode tab you mentioned, which is particularly useful for those with programming or development needs. For users whose primary tasks revolve around office work, studying, or everyday computing, Chromebooks can be a cost-effective and efficient choice, especially with their focus on simplicity and cloud-based applications. However, if you require advanced capabilities, administrator privileges, or a more versatile environment for programming and development, then Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems might be more suitable, as they provide greater flexibility and control over your computing environment. The choice ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences, balancing convenience with functionality. Thank you for sharing your insights on this matter!

I just went to the website directly and I was able to open word on my Chromebook. The address I used was:
www.office.com/?auth=1
Can i ask is it possible to create new docs with the chrome store web apps method?
Yes. I do. I use this method and I make new documents.
Yes. It is possible to create new blank docs this way. In fact, in the video, it shows the option called "New Black Doc" right when you first open the Word extension app. I just did it and it shows it on the first screen when it opens.
Thankyou for this video however it says that word online is no longer available - i'm in the UK is this only for people in the US? Thanks in advance

@@selmateacher7 yep, "no longer available"
@@wellnesswalks9897 I still see it there. Please try this link:

The first method is free, but it does need a network?
Yes. Microsoft changed their apps a few years ago. They are used online. But Google Docs, sheets, etc, can be used offline on the Chromebook, as seen in my other videos on the topic. Both MS Office and Google Drive are free and can create, edit, and share MS word documents.
With this first method, I am not getting the office extention at all when I search the webstore. Is there an update I should follow?
Here is the link I use to put Microsoft Word, which allows you to use all of the Office Apps, on y student's Chromebooks:

What is the best chromebook for students ?
The HP 14 seems to be a good fit
Yes so clear to understand, your a great Teacher👍
Thank you for saying that.
Thank you very much sir...very helpful.
You're welcome. I am happy to hear that it was helpful.
I couldn't install playstore on my chrombook. How can I do that?
Regards.!
Microsoft has been making many changes lately. Please try using their online version of office found at live.com
Does this support the Microsoft Editor feature? How about its Document Stats and percentage passive voice sentences, a key writing improvement tool.
Thank you for the questions. Yes, It supports editing and has all of the tools as you can see in my other videos on this topic. I use Google Docs more now, as it works offline on my Chromebook and I do use the Stars features, to let me know word count, etc. I use the Active voice assistive writing feature as it can help detect the passive voice in a phrase or sentence and replace it within Docs for free. For MS Word on a Chromebook, goto, Review, Editor, Review Tools to find the option. You will need to sign into your 365 account to activate Percentage Passive Voice.
Allo do u have a video show app screenrecorder for chromebook?
Yes. If you look at my channel, I have many newer videos on screen recorders for Chromebooks.

I do not know if things have change, but I was unable to find the app on chrome, may be office is no longer available for chrome?
True, Microsoft has changed their policies. The new updated video is seen here:
ruclips.net/video/M8H182aIxoo/видео.html
Hello Mr. Berry need some help here, so I have watched the video and followed your instructions. However when I go to, Chrome Web Store to add office, I am not seeing "office" what I am seeing is " Office-enable copy and paste", however when I scroll further down I can see word, excel and powerpoint as you have shown in the video. Why am I not seeing "Office".
Thank you for the question. Microsoft changes their apps on the Chrome store often. I have the free Microsoft Office app on my Chromebook, but you may install Word, Excel, and Powerpoint independently to get the same result. In fact, once one of their apps is installed, you will have access to your Microsoft drive, that has links to all of the Office apps.
what if it's no longer avail. in the web store(the apps for word,pptx and etc.) what do we do
You may use the link in the description. I also use live.com to find the online office apps
Thank you Mr. Berry. It works perfectly for editing and making new documents on my Acer 11 😃Chromebook.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much! Quick question is the custom motion path feature available on the free version in powerpoint? I can't seem to find it.
You are correct. I justed opened one of my powerpoint slides and I do not see "custom motion path" in the animations.
for me it does'nt work because in the first method every time i try to add the online word version to chrome it say unavalaible
here is the update :
ruclips.net/video/M8H182aIxoo/видео.html
So how would you change the theme on a document in word. I am not seeing the design tab at the top for mine.
You are correct. No Themes. I never used themes, as I created my own templates.
@@selmateacher7 is there no way to get themes? I am taking a college course and I don’t have full access to all of word.
@@haileyboyd9946 I'm curious, as well. I'm debating a chromebook for my master's courses but need full access to Word.
I'm a bit confused. I have an Acer Chromebook but found that some documents were read only ie limited access. Storage is always flashing up as low, too, even though I'm using a Dongle. So I just bought Microsoft 365 but as I don't use Excel or Powerpoint (and am unlikely to do so) could I have managed with the free version? I use Chrome OS and don't have Windows. I've gone back to studying so am anxious to get a good Word programme.
I use the free version and I do not find any documents that were read only. I do save my documents on local storage, as well as in the cloud, yet I have not used up the cloud storage. I also use Goggle Docs to open and edit my MS Word documents, often as it has all of the formatting tools as you can see in my computer class videos, where I instruct my students on how to get the most out of Google Docs.
Hi! I was able to add in chrome the office extension however when I try to add word, excel and powerpoint online, it says it is no longer available and visits the website. There's no option to install it anymore. Did I miss anything or can you give a workaround? Thank you!
As of September 18, 2021, Microsoft is discontinuing support for Office (which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook) on Chromebook.
You can still goto live.com and use it online with any device.
You are legend big thanks
Happy to help. I hope you might subscribe and enjoy my newer videos.
Hello again! I have a question & need your expertise! LOL Although I have a PC, I think I would like to try a Chromebook for the first time. I have Microsoft 365 but just purchased the Creative Cloud Photography Subscription that includes Photoshop. I do a lot of work in Photoshop. Would you PLEASE recommend a Chromebook that can manage those powerful apps online. I'm clueless when it comes to the Chrome option. You are not responsible in any way for my purchase. However, which one would you recommend or the system requirements that are mandatory for a pleasant work experience. I love your videos & teaching style. I'm a subscriber. Thanks SO much! 💛
In truth any Chromebook with 8GB of RAM and a faster Intel CPU, should work well. I used the CB715 to create videos, now I am using an HP14a with a slower CPU and I do notice the difference in performance. So I recommend a Chromebook with an Intel core i processor, 8 GB of RAM . Other options to be aware of are storage capacity, but I use ext storage when creating videos, so it is not a game breaker. The CB715 with an Intel Core i processor, 8 GB RAM should do the job as long as you have fast internet..
Thank you just installed on my Samsung Chromebook went to the Chrome store 😀
Awesome. I hope you might subscribe.
@@selmateacher7 I'm not techie...... so do I still get the full functionality of the Microsoft 365. But I just need to access it from the browser, which means I always need to be connected to wifi or tethered to my phone?

Hello
im trying to use the word art function i cant seem to find it in the online version of word or in the newest version of the desktop word app. i also seem to be unable to move or adjust text boxes any advice
I use Google docs, if I need Word Art, as Microsoft removed it from their free version, you may also use www.cooltext.com for word art.
Can you use a paid 365 personal account with your first method? I can open but not access any uploaded word documents. The second method I cannot do at all as it says microsoft office is not available as an android app. Any help is appreciated!
Yes. Just log into your 365 account and use it as seen in the first method.
@@selmateacher7 Thank you for your quick reply, however this does not work. A word document will open up just as shown in your video, however when I click on it to edit, the tabs go grey and I can not do anything on it. Any other suggestions?
@@salr5172 We have used the free version in class, as well as Google Docs. Both are able to create, edit, or share the documents. If you have the Microsoft Word Android version, please uninstall that one , that may be causing the issue with the 365

Do you have a preference for Word online versus the Google docs version?
yes. I prefer Google Docs.
Do you get version which the windows version come with?
There are two versions. The free version does not have word art. To get wordart and all of the features of 365, then use Google Drive, Doc, and Sheets, as you see in my other videos, showcasing the better features now found in Google Docs, sheets and slides.
I see now. Everything changed this month of November
You can still use the Microsoft app from their website at live.com. As long as you have a Microsoft account.

Hi, I've followed the instructions to open Microsoft word on my chromebook, word opened but when I clicked on "New Blank Document" to start it can up with the message "Can't open this document File appears to be corrupt" how do I fix this?
I am sorry to hear of that. There are a number of things that can cause that, even though I have not seen that message in the last 10 years and that was with a file that was already created. Not a new blank doc. Are you using a Chromebook or a Windows computer? If you are using a Windows machine, the steps are listed here:

Whenever I'm on the online version of office, if I try to open Word for example, OneDrive pops up and then says "Yo need to have the app installed". I don't understand why this happens :/ Ty for the video ❤
See if you have the Office extensions by clicking on the puzzle piece found in the top right hand side of the browser. When you click on the grey puzzle piece, a pull down menu should appear. Office should be one of the options. If you click on the blue pin next to the "Office" icon, then it should pin the apps to the top of the browser. You may then open the apps that way.

It still doesn't look the same as the original version from windows, mac or Microsoft laptops. There are not all tools such as ''add citation'' on reference or recording audio/video straight in PowerPoint.
Have you tried changing the options in the "view" tool? I still see the tools when I just opened the app on my Chromebook. Be sure that the app is set to edit and not just view, as that will also hide the tools.
i think i have exact the same Chromebook as you have but i have problems adding the apps word and excel. I get the message: Device not compatible (but than in Dutch)
hmm. There are two ways to get the the Microsoft apps. Please try by going to

Which method? Did you try using the Chrome Web Store? It works for me.
That Chromebook should work well. I just looked up the model number and it has the Chrome Web Store. Do you find the Chrome web store on your Chromebook? Also, to see the link to the apps, you may click on the puzzle piece found in the upper right hand corner of the browser, and then click on the Microsoft Office icon, found there. It will open and show all of the Office apps, if you do not have icons in your App launcher.
I get the same thing not available for Chrome os. I also have an issue of the word documents being converted to Google docs is there a fix for this or can I delete Google docs all together?
I use both Word and Google Docs back and forth for my work, without any issues. Please try the online version of MS Word and see if it works. It should work. If it is still giving you problems, I will be here to help.

Hi, thanks for your video. I purchased a Acer Spin 311 Chromebook. However, while opening office, say word, it direct to onedrive to create the file but returned "Can't open, file may be corrupted."
Going to Onedrive directly, the file is found and created. So, I click the file at Onedrive, it can open but it is read only, meaning the word environment at has no upper tab "File, Insert, Design, Layout, .. etc"
But it won't be happen and go normal if I used Windows 10 / 11.
After watching your video, I follow your guidance and installed via Chrome Web Store for Office, Word online, Excel online. After all, the issue is still the same "File cannot be open, may be corrupted" and the file is here but read only (look like the word online is reader). I am not Office 365 subscriber, do you have any tips or idea? Many thanks.
Update: I just found the issue behind. Since I installed OneDrive app on the Chromebook. The default file manager show underneath OneDrive is "READ ONLY".
Then, I uninstalled this app and try the above again. The issue is resolved and the file is editable.
Can it be possible with OneDrive App installed but make the file Not "READ ONLY"? Thanks.
I know that Microsoft has a limitation of files being 'read only' on devices larger than 10.1 inches. I normally only use the web version of Microsoft for that reason. . See more here:
support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-you-can-do-in-the-office-apps-on-mobile-devices-with-a-microsoft-365-subscription-9ef8b63a-05fd-4f9c-bac5-29da046833ea
I connect my Chromebook to my phone's mobile data..while using word online, will it take more data? I dont have WiFi, just mobile data
Thank you for the question. It will take data, but the amount depends on if the document size, as well as if you are using images within the doc. I have found that it is still a small amount of data usage.
Just got my chromebook and was told I could install and run a full fledged MS Office suite on it. I had to go in search of someone like yourself on the web to find out how. I tried to follow your first medthod but it keeps bringing back to an online office place. I need power point and although I see I can use it online, for the life of my I cannot find "Presenter View". Am I missing something?
I am sorry to hear of the trouble. Here is the direct link to their App from the Chrome Web store.
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/word-online/fiombgjlkfpdpkbhfioofeeinbehmajg
Im a high school student and I am doing K12 Online School. I am in a Microsoft class and I have a Chromebook so my Microsoft is different. I have not been able to get it to work so I was trying to find a video to help. I did what you did but on any app when I click on creat new, it says that it can not do that right now and tells me to try opening one from one drive but when I click that it just sends me to the same place and does the same thing.
I would advise you to ask your instructor as he.she would know of any restrictions that the school has imposed on that school chromebook.
Once Ms. Office is installed, can it be used while the Chromebook is offline?
Not for that app. but Google docs works offline and can save the work as MS docs.
As this is merely the Online app, not the Desktop version, you will be missing a lot of features in MS Word. And even if you go premium, you will still be missing advanced features, like the Developer mode tab, which would enable you to program the app to your liking and add in custom stuff.
If you are the typical office/student/work user, then Chromebook will be good enough.
But if you are more into the Developer/Programmer side of things and you want more bang for your buck, I think a Windows OS, Mac OS or Linux OS will do much better than Chrome OS. They all have administrator privileges, but Chrome OS doesn't allow administrator privileges.
Interesting take on that.
You make a valid point about the limitations of using an online app version of Microsoft Word compared to the desktop version. The desktop versions do indeed offer a wider range of features and customization options, including the Developer mode tab you mentioned, which is particularly useful for those with programming or development needs.
For users whose primary tasks revolve around office work, studying, or everyday computing, Chromebooks can be a cost-effective and efficient choice, especially with their focus on simplicity and cloud-based applications. However, if you require advanced capabilities, administrator privileges, or a more versatile environment for programming and development, then Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems might be more suitable, as they provide greater flexibility and control over your computing environment.
The choice ultimately depends on your specific needs and preferences, balancing convenience with functionality. Thank you for sharing your insights on this matter!
