I love the ease of doing papers, and making diffrent spreadsheets, and well dang it everything!
I like the ease of navigating and using the features.
Actually, there are many things I LOVE about this but the main one for me is being able to edit photos. I do not have a program for that (that is up to date). Thank you for this wonderfully amazing opportunity to win.
I love managing the budget in Excel for all my school expenses.
I love the features and the ease of doing different papers and graphs etc..

Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love Word! I am always creating flyers and pages for my familly members. Plus I use Word to help my children learn how to type, read, and learn!
AS A TEACHER, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I HAVE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY AS MY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. MICROSOFT OFFICE ALLOWS THE STUDENTS TO EMAIL ME THEIR PAPERS. I AM THEN ABLE TO PROOFREAD AND EDIT THEM, ALLOWING THE STUDENTS TO HAVE QUICKER FEEDBACK ON THEIR WORK.
LOVE how easy it all is to figure out!!
I love the word to make flyers or for kids school projects.
I love that it has Publisher included. So many things to do with the entire suite of products!
I love the SmartArt feature. I also love all the design options to customize your documents.
Love the word, and PP especially. Thinking about going back to college so need to update my computer programs to what I would use there.
I like creating Power Point Presentations with Microsoft Office.
I love word. I don’t currently have an office program. Many times I have need word for a project but, have had to figure something else out.
I really like being able to edit photos easily.
It is so user-friendly!
I love the spreadsheets and photo editng
I entered, but I don’t tweet, sorry.

I like that you don’t have to buy each program separate.
charting and graphing on Excel is a big help in planning the annual home budget and also the ease of Word for schoolwork is great.
I love the speadsheet features on MS Office
I love excel to make budget sheets
What I like is the Powerpoint because it allows you to do a paper’s and add photos too when I was in college. I used it to finish my Crime Scene Portfolio, Crime Scene Photography courses and many more. I cannot say anything about MS. 2010 because I have never used it. That is why I am wanting to win it.
In a world where being frugal is key- why don’t any of you look into free software. Gimp is great for editing photos. Open Office does everything MSO does only- um it’s free. I wouldn’t spend even 50 dollars on MSO. Because they stole their idea for the 2007 version from a Canadian company. Look it up. Gosh people. For a $500 price tag this program had better come with a diamond ring I can wear in public!
You are definitely entitled to your opinion! This is a giveaway, just so you are aware. No one has to pay anything.
Not sure of why there is an attitude but Im sure if you won this prize you wouldn’t be handing it back
I find that the templates are a huge time saver. I also love the translation feature- Its great to have a quick way to find out what someone is saying!
love MS Office because of the ease of use and the ability to transfer from one module to the other.
I love using Excel for spreadsheets, and the ease of using Word for assignments and the designing of fliers and invitations, etc.
the ease of one program for multiple uses
I LOVE HOW EASY IT IS TO USE.
Love me some Microsoft programs! So well designed
I use powerpoint quite a bit, and I like how easy it is to make a professional presentation.
I love Word and how easy it is to use. And I always find power point to be fun to play with
oh i guess we are suppose to put this in the area provided under “any extra instructon when we click on the “instructions” tab on the very first “to do”
I love the new features to all of the apps: powerpoint, excel, word and one note. The ability for others to view the powerpoint and the quick to add photos. I am always working on stuff for our church, since I am the Administrative Assistant and Treasurer, so anything helpful and easier is the greatest! Our church hasn’t updated the software since we had the computer which is 2005. We still have Microsoft Office 2003 (a bit behind the times), so this upgrade would be a great addition especially since we are small and can’t afford to upgrade.
i love WORD…it’s so easy 2 use!!!
I love the word program. It is so easy to use!
not sure why but i cant even do the first “to do” to enter the give away.It gives me the “oops cant do it right now try again” message.
Not cool! Try refreshing.
I love Excel to quickly calculate % paid in couponing deals! Access is also great to stay organized!
I love that I wont have the old version anymore. lol
I love that it has Publisher included
I like those templates. It makes it easy to create documents and forms.
Great and futuristic product.
When it comes to the professional management and organization then Microsoft office is the answer.
I really like the versatility!
Love Microsoft Word…makes doing my resume a breeze
That its easy to use for all purposes!
I love the easy use of Microsoft
MS Office does everything it should do, and does it right. It might just be the only truly great product Microsoft has ever come out with.
Easy photo tools!
I love the new MS Word, but miss Publisher. The other programs sound amazing, especially the blog integration.
My kids would be able to rearrange pictures to powerpoint school projects! That would be easy!
thanks!
I love the ability to connect to work easily and to the library for information and being able to retreive e-mails. Rita Spratlen rj_angel_house@yahoo.com
My favorite feature is probably Word Art and all of the options that I don’t have for it in my Office 2003!
It’s the software I grew up with, and using anything else never feels natural.
I love the ease of use of excel for my home finance spreadsheet….
I am totally in love with Outlook. It is one of the best ways to keep me sane. Their calendar, reminders and task lists are one thing I can’t do without. Unfortunately, I do not have it on my laptop, only my desktop. Very inconvenient. Thank you for this opportunity to win this wonderful suite.
I have never used it but the Word feature is something most of my classes will require me to use for my papers. Exel looks promising as I am in the accounting program. This program will be essential to my eduacational success and save me money as well if I win.
its overall a better program then the others.
I like the quick edits to photos
everything
I like that it can organize my small soap venture.
