Difference Between Home/Student and Home/Student/Family: What is the difference between Microsoft Office for MAC Home/Student at $99.99 and Office for MAC Home/Student/Family at $124.22?

I believe the designation of family means that product has 3 users/3 licenses to load the software, while the other on only has 1user/1 license.

The trial version that comes is Student/Home version. In addition to the use of Open Office, you can also sign up for free use of Google Docs, which is very nice.

the only Microsoft that is on my macbook is Microsoft silverlight whatever that is. it didn't come with Microsoft office. you should ask the person your thinking of purchasing from if it had what you need it on. every macbook is different.

It also comes free with Works 9.0 (which includes a basic word processor/spreadsheet).Unless you really really need MS Office, OpenOffice can be downloaded free online.

There was only one real difference for me and that was it included Outlook. If you go to the microsoft web page they have a chart that shows a comparison of all their Office products. It may help you make your decision on which one to buy. Also, I chose to buy the Office Suite instead of doing the Office 365. It may be cheaper for the first 2 yeas, but, after that you are loosing money, at least that is the way I figured it. If you do buy I suggest that you get the disk s it is always available and you have a less time consuming process than doing it on line. Especially, if you have a slow internet connection. I did my first attempt using a hotel internet, which ended up with an error. I went to the Apple Store, took a workshop and used their internet to download the Yosemite upgrade in 45 minutes.

In the license agreement, it says one portable and one desk top. I'm assuming that Microsoft thinks one student will have both.

A 30 day free trial. Then you can either buy office or sign up up for office 365 at $10 a month. You could also get openoffice at openoffice.org, which is free.

That's a rather subjective question. iWork can be purchased through the app store, thus providing your student with essential word-processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software that is compatible with office products. Your student would also be less inclined to acquire malware than with a windows-based machine. If your student is an art, music, or drafting student, inexpensive software can also be acquired through the app store for these purposes. I would recommend Paragon NTFS for mac though, since Apple does not have any native NTFS translation software. I hope this is helpful... OK, here's a translation of what I said (lol, sorry!): it depends on what your student needs the laptop for. Programs can be installed on a Mac that would give it compatibility with the kind of programs used in a high school environment. Given that most schools are on a Windows paradigm, a Windows machine might be better. If you just prefer Mac (as do I), and you have the know-how to do so, your student's Mac can be made to be sufficiently compatible with 99% of the Windows-based software available. It can be set up to meet the needs of a new high school student fairly easily, but you must first ensure you know what those needs are before you can address them. If you decide to get a Mac, let me know on this forum and I can explain in detail how to set up your student's computer.

If you are worried about not having Microsoft office on mac you can also buy the mac version of MS Office, or try other alternatives such as Open Office and Google Drive, both of which are free. With Mac you will rarely have to worry about getting nasty computer viruses which can have dangerous viruses which are common on Windows. I would recommend a Mac to anyone.

There is an app, office pro, that I use to edit and create documents and spreadsheets that seamlessly interfaces with Microsoft office. $9.99

No, I had to purchase those extra. I bought my machine at Best Buy and I believe it was around $110 for Microsoft office. However, no computers come with this now, only a free trial period. That's because of a lawsuit that was filed against Microsoft quite a way back claiming by having these preinstalled they were creating a monopoly. You may want to look into Google Doc's, they are free and you can do your work on any computer, because they stay "in the cloud". Once you use Google doc ( at least for the powerpoint and word equivalent) you probably won't go back. Haven't tried the excel equivalent. One really nice thing about google doc's is that you can share it, and multiple people can work on the same document at the same time on different computers. Hard to explain,, but really nice to use. Good luck in your search.

"Which of these do I want?" The post only shows a pic of Office 97 Professional, so I don't know which choices you are comparing? I'm no computer expert, either, but I would suggest it just depends on how you intend to use the programs. If you want it just for your own use then I would absolutely recommend Office 97. It's inexpensive and effecient. As stated below, you should be able to research the differences between the products you want to compare online. So again, depending on how you will use it, just be aware that Microsoft Office 2010 programs are pretty much incompatible with older versions. Which means if you will be receiving files from other sources that use 2010, you will be unable to open their files. There is a workaround for this, though. Just ask the sender to save the file as a .doc (Word) or .xls (Excel) before they send it to you.

Office was not on the computer. You must purchase it from MS, or download a $10 version from NeoOffice, which is for use on Apple computers. I've used NeoOffice only very briefly so far, but find it should be comparable with MS Office.

I can't answer that as I haven't ever owned the student version. I actually bought this version for my sister.
