Review by William Boswell

Getting this installed via Amazon was a major headache because their invoice provided the wrong information. What was listed as the Product Key was actually a Redemption Key which is used to get the Product Key. I had to go through Microsoft’s tech support to get my software installed which took nearly two hours to accomplish. I was not happy and will never purchase Microsoft software from Amazon again.

I was moving up to Office 2016 from Office 2007 so it is a major change for me. One thing I’ve noticed is that my old Office 2007 applications can still be used even after installing Office 2016. Outlook 2007 is the only application that didn’t work and had to be uninstalled. This was a plus for me because I don’t have the money to shell out for the full Office and I can still use Access 2007 without problems.

The only problem I had was Word 2016 couldn’t handle one of my custom macros and my Quick Access Toolbars (QAT’s) had to be recreated. I use the QAT’s so I don’t have to search through the ribbon to find something. I also haven’t found a way to tag documents that have been opened like I could in the 2007.
