1LT Private RallyPoint Member 5959037 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I tried going through CHESS (asc.army.mil), but no luck.<br /><br />The deal for 2019 edition for $20 ended a while back. Now it&#39;s a 30% discount on Office 365, that&#39;s still $70 for a year. Not bad at all, but cheaper is better. Any help? 2020-06-01T14:51:46-04:00 1LT Private RallyPoint Member 5959037

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I quit using MS Office when I learned that most things there could be done on Google Drive for free.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I won&#39;t pay for annual subscription to a program which should be purchased one time for a fixed fee.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you do MS Office as a SaaS you never have to worry about upgrading it. Ever.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>MS offers a discounted home version office bundle for military and students for about $10. You’ll have to dig around a bit to find the link, but essentially you just use your official email as proof

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Cheapest way is free:<br />Free Office<br />LibreOffice<br />Open Office<br />All free to download and use, compatible with MS.<br />Google Docs if you don&#39;t want to download.<br /><br />All versions take a little tweaking to get your letterhead and memo format correct.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Unless there&#39;s a specific function or utility of Office 365 that&#39;s requiring you to use it, have you looked into LibreOffice? It&#39;s a free and open-source office suite that works on Windows/Linux/MacOS. It supports Microsoft file types (.docx, xlsx, pptx, etc.) but isn&#39;t a 100% perfect replacement.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe there is an Open Office program, you can find it through Google. I actually use Google docs and sheets.
