Microsoft Office 2013
- Thread starter bigben
- Start date
Just do what we have and join the Microsoft partner program. There are a few restrictions on who can and can't join the program so make sure your company fits the criteria, if you do, you will have multi user licenses (Based on your membership) of all Microsoft products like Office and Windows.
The tests are really easy, and if it is for work you will always have access to the latest software of the option for a lower version.. basically you get so many computer licence for any of the software in the programme.

Hi, thanks for replies.
We don't want to have to subscribe to anything, just 1 off payment.
We aren't too bothered about having everything bang up to date either, we were previously using office 2003. Unfortunately we have to have 2013 due to compatibility issues with the accounts / pos software we are running (our IT bloke said it's something to do with the way outlook connects with sage or something).
I'll probably just buy them on Amazon, seems to be the cheapest I've seen the package anywhere. Bit of a pain you can't just buy word/excel/outlook separately without all the other stuff.
Thanks again

I know if your in law enforcement you get Microsoft officr 2013 for about £9. Really cheap good deal they do us
Try Dabs business.
Not only can you obviously claim the vat back through work but they offer better deals as a business user.
The compatibility you talk about is most likely the fact that after 2003 I think it was everything moved to xml based programming hence why the newer versions of office save everything with a x on the end. example.docx or example.xlsx

Be cautious about Office from Amazon, make sure it is not "cheapest" one as it will be a non genuine copy, just make sure prices are similar to other re sellers. We received one copy like that, it was non genuine even though it looked like a real deal, it even activated fine. But it was a bogus copy! We reported seller and got our money back in the end. But without seeing that copy and the genuine copy next to each other you wouldn't tell a difference.
Also Sage, for as long as it's up to date, should have no problems working with Office 2013. I suppose you are trying to generate a Quote/SOP directly from Sage into Outlook PDF attachment and then email it to client. This normally work for as long as you have both Office 2013 and Sage updated to the latest version. Having said that, we experience lots of issues with Office 2013 and Sage Accounts. Office 2010 was bomb proof in that regards.
Best to get your software is probably ebuyer.com or dabs.com as already mentioned.
