Windows 10: EXCELLENT Free Office suite (compatible With Office 2016/2019)

Hi folks

For those that don't need or want subscriptions to Office 2016 / 365 etc this suite just keeps getting better and better

Downloads - WPS Office Community (Windows Link also on the page)

I've found it as pretty well compatible with Ms stuff including .xlsx formats for EXCEL (and I'm quite a power user).

Here's a complex pie chart example copied without change from the version created in EXCEL 2016





This is in the Linux version but it's the same for Windows too.

The only thing missing in the Free versions is it won't run VBA macros update -- it DOES NOW !!!see post nr 5 in this thread - but I rarely use those --otherwise it runs pretty well everything 100% as per EXCEL .

There's no email client in the suite but unless you get Ms Office pro versions then there isn't an email client there either so use thunderbird or similar.

Personally if Ms rams subscriptions down our throats I'll convert over to this suite -- and it's free. !!!

Cheers
jimbo

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.

 

Office 2019

Rats. And I just migrated from Office 2007 to 2016.

I don't have a problem with it working only on W10. W7 is already 9 years old. People need to finally let it go.

BTW, support for Office 2007 products ended last October. That's why I finally moved to 2016.

One thing I was really glad to see with that Office 2019 is it will still be a "stand-alone" product. I am still resisting, and will continue to resist for as long as possible, cloud based "applications as a service" type products.

 

Office 2019

If your still running W7 why would you purchase Office 2019? You wouldn't.
