Hi Rod,
I assume all it means is that there will be no more bug fixes or
security updates.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Forgive the nit-picking, but does this not simply mean that you won't be able
to ask Microsoft any support questions about it, rather than saying that it
will no longer run on Windows 10?
Humbly (smile),

Subject: Re: MS Office question
David,
I doubt very much that those copies of Office 2010 are legal. And with a quick
search I just found a statement from Microsoft that all support for 2010 will
end next year.
I have Office 365. I'm still running 2016 because it hasn't updated yet.
The only problem I have with Window-Eyes is with the spell checker. I began
scripting a fix, but it works so well with NVDA I just go that route with
Office.
Good luck,
Tom

Anyone here has any experience, or know the rules?
I am trying to get hold of a copy of MS Office, and thought I might
save a few dollars, on buying one of the former versions. Got some
offer here, for unopened and fully licensed versions, but got confused
about their titles.
One says Home and Student, the other reads Home and Business. Well, I
am neither a student, nor a business owner. But since they both states
Home, will it still be legal for me? Or, was there any other version
that I should look out for?
They are both Office 2010. Anyone knows when Microsoft would end
support for that version, or maybe they have already done so?
Finally, I got one more offer, this time for Office 2019. Would
someone happen to know whether that version is accessible with
WinEyes? Guess NVDA and Jaws are OK with 2019, but would hate to loose
WinEyes functionality.
Allright, I do know of the subscription versions of Office, but I
really don't want that kind of ongoing expenses. Rather pay once, and
you know what you've got. Subscribe, and next month - or next year -
Microsoft decides to change something, and all the sudden you are
lost, and have to spend days in figuring your way around the new features.
Thanks for all feedback, that I can make the most informed decition.
And please, since I am outside North-Americas, I was under the
impression the Microsoft Assistance line would not be available for
me. If I am mistaken, I'd be glad to know.
