The Office 2013 Home & Student and Professional editions contain the same respective programs as their 2007 counterparts. The Professional version includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access, Outlook and Publisher. Office 2010: Office 2010 Home & Student includes the same four programs as the 2007 Home & Student edition (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote), but the 2010 Professional edition is slightly different from its predecessor. Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, while the Professional edition includes the programs most likely to be used by business users – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Accounting Express and Publisher. Office 2007: If you have an older version of Microsoft Office, it may be labeled as a student or professional edition. These one-time purchase packages allow you to install the programs on only one computer, and neither include OneDrive storage or Skype minutes like the Office 365 packages.

The Home & Business version includes Outlook as well. Both Office Home & Student 2016 and Office Home & Business 2016 include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. If you’d rather not pay for an Office 365 subscription, you can make a one-time purchase of Office 2016 to install the major desktop Office applications. If you’re a student or teacher at one of these schools, you’ll be able to use Publisher and Access on PCs in addition to the programs available to free Office 365 for Education accounts. Some schools pay for Office 365 Education E5. Students and teachers can use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote through Office 365 for free if they sign up under a valid school email address, assuming their schools have enrolled in the program. Office 365 Business Premium includes the same features as the basic business package, as well as custom domain email addresses and access to Microsoft Teams, Exchange, SharePoint, Yammer and Skype for business with unlimited high-definition video conferencing for up to 250 people. It’s nearly identical to Office 365 Home, except companies can pay for up to 300 users (each user can use the programs on five computers, five tablets and five phones) and it doesn’t include Skype calling minutes. Office 365 for Business is the basic professional package. Business Office 365 packages require an annual commitment, and companies pay a monthly fee per user.
