grahamsealby Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm presently using Word 10 for my manuscripts. I've been looking to upgrade to Word 16, but after reviewing W16 I can't find any substantial difference. From a writer's standpoint is it worth paying for the upgrade? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayon Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm still using Word 2007. MS still updates it on every update for Win10, so I see no reason to change. If I did, I would either use Google Docs, or OpenOffice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikiesboy Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 i use 10 because it came with my laptop when i got it 8 years ago. It's fine for writing ... if i had to buy something new i'd likely go with the newer option. But i'm not upgrading yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerMember4 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Functionality wise they aren’t much different. The older is still getting updates. A personal opinion, the older has a better menu layout. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamsealby Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thanks y'all for getting back. You've confirmed my findings. It would cost $A100 / year to upgrade and I'm not mad at money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynoReads Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The big benefit to 365is the online storage and access from any browser. 365 has less functionality than the last version I used, think it might have been 2012. My work has 365, and I had to get a local copy for some of the things I do. If you are a student you can get 365 much cheaper. Look into their education program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
