Sep 25, 2018 - Nowadays, Office is available as a download, but you can either buy it. Look at our sister site Macworld's specific Office for Mac buying guide. Office software like Word and Excel, but just Microsoft's online and cloud tools.
If I purchase a computer without no Office products installed, can I purchase Excel, Word and perhaps Access separately? Or do I need to buy at least one Office package, namely Office Home and Student, which gets me Excel and Word, then buy Access separately? BTW, is there any differences between Excel and Word in Office Home/Student and Office Home/Business?

It looks like I am asking about the 2010 versions of these products. But I would prefer the 2007 versions, if I can find them. Please specify if your answers are different for one version or the other. PS: What is Office Starter (Excel and Word only)?
I see it in the Answers Forum pull-down menu, but I do not see it in the list of Office suites at microsoft.com. Feature wise the programs are identical, except for Office Starter which has crippleware, but you aren't supposed to be able to buy it anyway. 2007 versions are only available as 'old stock' from various retailers You can purchase items individually but generally you would pay less by purchasing a complete Office suite (featuring the apps you require) Home & Student versions are the same as Home/Business or Pro versions, excepting H&S versions are not licensed for commercial use. A new PC may come with a preinstalled Trial of an Office version, buying an Office version with a new PC is not a good idea, since it will be an oem version, only licensed for that individual PC.
