How to Get Word for Free

hi everyone my name is kevin today i want to show you how you can get microsoft word entirely for free it won't cost you anything at all and best of all this is completely legal as full disclosure before we jump into this i work at microsoft as a full-time employee and this is the product i work on all right well what are we waiting for let's jump on my pc here i am on my pc and the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to open up a web browser so i'm using google chrome here i'm going to go ahead and open this up and we're going to navigate to a website called office.com office.com is where we are going to get office for free when you land on the office.com website you'll see two different buttons one is get office and one is sign in if i click on get office what this does is this brings me to a marketing website where i can buy office so if you want the apps that you can install on your machine and you can use it offline you'd want to buy office here however if we want to use office for free and i mentioned that i would show you how to get it what we want to do is we want to click on the sign in button so remember to click on sign in and what we do is you're going to enter your microsoft account if you don't have a microsoft account don't worry they're entirely free to create and if you need one what you're going to do is you're going to click on create one i already have an account so i'm just going to go ahead and log in with one of my existing accounts that i have and then i'm going to click on next then it's going to ask me to enter in my password so i'm going to go ahead and type in my password and you could also ask to keep you signed in now at this point i'm going to land i land on the office.com website and what you'll see is i have a whole bunch of apps across the top here if i click on start new what i could do is i could create a new word document or i could click on the word tile right here both of them this one will get me into a new document if i click here this will bring me to the word start page on the word start page what you'll see is i can create a new blank document by clicking here i could also start from a template so here if i click on more templates i have a whole bunch of templates that i could start from here i'm going to go back and i could also get back to any of my recent documents that i've been working on i could pin documents i could see documents that have others have shared with me so what i'm going to do is let's go ahead and click on new blank document and what this will do now is this is going to drop me in word and so it's going to take just a moment to load and then here i am in a document so hello uh welcome to welcome to microsoft word and within here what you'll see is you have all the kind of standard functionality that you'd expect what i can do is i could add a title on here and i could you know apply my different let's say i want to throw a heading in here i could go in i have all my different tools to adjust the look and feel you know i can insert different things but all the controls that you're used to in word are available here now one of the differences is when you when you look at the desktop apps that you would pay for versus the web app that you get here the online app is not quite features rich feature-rich as the desktop apps but it has most of what you need if there's something that's missing that you want to see included here there's a button down here in the bottom right hand corner that says give feedback to microsoft and you can say whether you like something you don't like something or if you have a suggestion for something the team reads all that feedback that comes in and what i've seen from my experience is if you request something you actually see it show up in the product pretty quickly so this is one way how you can use microsoft office for free and it's by going to office.com uh now i want to show you a second way that you could also use microsoft office entirely for free and this works on windows 10 pcs so what i'm going to do is if you go down to your search field here and you type in office you'll see an app pop up called office i've also pinned it to my task bar right down here and i've already logged in and if you're signed into windows it should just automatically pick up your account and sign you into this app so here's the office app and one thing that you'll notice is it looks very similar to office.com where we just were and what you could do here is here too you could also click on word and then you could work on a document you could also start a new word document directly from here and then if you want to get back to recent content you could do that down below now one of the nice things with office.com and the office app is not only do you get access to word but you also get things like excel powerpoint onenote outlook and here if i click on all apps you see all the different apps that you get for free with your microsoft account when you sign in either on office.com or through the office app now once again this app allows me to use uh the web apps for free if i'd rather install office and get office on my desktop so if i click here um it asks me to go premium and you have to pay money for a premium account if you're a student what you could do is you could use office entirely for free including the office that you could download and install on your pc as long as you go to log in with your edu account assuming that your school has a relationship with microsoft and that's it that's how you get microsoft office entirely for free and that's how you get microsoft word as part of it if this really helped you out and this helped you go in to use word and helped you finish your document give this video a thumbs up if you want to see future videos like this hit that subscribe button that way you'll get a notification anytime new content like this comes out and if you have any other ideas that you want to see me cover in the future leave a comment down below i read all the comments that come in and i'll add it to my list of videos to create in the future and hey that's all i have for you today i hope you enjoyed and hey i'll see you next time bye
