I just updated my HP Pavilion to Windows 8.1 and like it very much. I
would like to update my MS Office Home and Business to the latest
version but I want a box copy. I can't find a box copy in any local
stores. Is MS Office available only on those download cards with the
code number on it? If I buy one of these, then for some reason, later,
have to reinstall MS Office can I use the card again? For how long?

Thanks, Gordon


Save yourself some money, use:

LibreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/

OpenOffice: https://www.openoffice.org/

or any other free office Suite:

They all do the same as Ms-Office and the are free.


None of them have Outlook so not the same.

True if you are strictly comparing the office suites. But you can add
an email client to your computer, and be functionally the same.
Interoperability may suffer a bit, depending on how you use your computer.



I've tried them all and none are like Outlook. T-Bird is often suggested
by these suites and it's tried hard to be like Outlook but Outlook beats
T-Bird hands down when it comes to HTML email. When I compose an email
with Outlook, the fonts, colors, etc. are replicated exactly the way I
want them to look in Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and GMail as well as T-Bird. If
you use T-Bird, the emails change fonts when they arrived at their
destination, usually reverting to Times New Roman and a smaller font.
This is the only reason I need it over T-Bird. I don't do exchange.
