This is the Windows Club. For a really
0:13
long time, if you wanted to use
0:15
Microsoft Office tools like MSWord,
0:17
Excel or PowerPoint, you needed to
0:19
purchase a license for the software. Or
0:21
you could subscribe to the Microsoft
0:22
365. But that's now changed as Microsoft
0:25
has officially launched a free ad
0:27
supported version of Office for Windows
0:29
and Mac. Let us see how to install the
0:31
Office free version on a Windows PC.

install Office for you. Once installed,
0:45
you can launch Word, Excel, and
0:47
PowerPoint along with a few other
0:48
applications from the Start menu. After
0:50
launching any of the apps, you will see

1:01
Office desktop software. While the new
1:03
free office is completely free to use
1:05
and download, there are some
1:06
limitations. Being an ad supported
1:08
application, you will constantly see an
1:09
ad on the right side of the screen.
1:11
Also, there will be a 15-second video ad
1:14
autoplayed or muted once in a while. It
1:16
doesn't allow you to save your documents
1:17
locally. Instead, your documents will be
1:19
saved in one drive. Additionally, the
1:21
free version of one drive includes 5GB
1:23
of free storage space. Across the free
1:25
version of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint,
1:27
you will see several key features that
1:28
are missing. For instance, in Word, you
1:30
don't have options like line spacing,
1:32
shading, borders, etc. Excel doesn't
1:34
have features like conditional
1:36
formatting, pivot table macros, custom
1:38
views, and workbook statistic. In
1:40
PowerPoint, you don't get features like
1:42
screenshots, photo albums, Cameo, show
1:44
media controls, and formatting
1:46
backgrounds among others. Microsoft
