Microsoft Office - Office 2024 Information

Overview

Microsoft Office helps you complete common business tasks, including word processing, email, presentations, data management and analysis, and more. Office 2024 is sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a single, up-front cost to get Office apps for one computer.
