I still can't make a decision on this. I just went to the local

that buying one of these will let me set my one computer up to do my
regular MS Office work on cloud nine or some such. That is, I won't
have a copy of the MS Office client software installed on my computer.
Did I misinterpret the information on the MS Office 2013 envelopes at
the store?

Here are the Office versions available.

Which box did you read ?

365 is subscription based, Office 2013 is not.
- Some 365 plans come with locally installed Office applications.
- All Office 2013 version install Office locally on your machine.

I guess I must have been reading the wrong box. I'll go back tomorrow
and have another look.

I would really like to find a box copy that would let me choose which
components it contains. I don't need anything other than Word, Excel
and Outlook, but all the available boxes include One Note, Access and
Publisher. I wish I could do a pick and choose, but I see no way to do
this. Gordon
