Hi, thank you for reaching out. Do you need the latest versions of Word and Excel, or will basic features work? Microsoft lets you buy Word and Excel as one-time purchases instead of a subscription, or you can use the free online versions at Office.com for simple tasks like balancing a checkbook or writing letters. You can check Microsoft’s website to compare standalone prices and see which option fits your needs.
