What are the differences between: MS office 2007 standard and Home & student?

Answer 1

From a purely software standpoint, here is the difference.

Both come with Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

Standard has Outlook, but Home does not.

Home and Student has OneNote, while Standard does not.

My assumption is that they also kept the software license for the Home and Student version to allow 3 separate installs per license for 3 of the customer's computer, while Standard only allows 1 install per license. But again, that is an assumption; based off Office 2003.

Edit: As an add-on to Dave below, DO NOT USE THE STUDENT EDITION IN A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT. If you are caught using a home license inside the workplace, it will cost you.

Answer 2

The Home and Student package only contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. If you require Access and Publisher you need Office 2007 Pro. All in all, 2007 is a wonderful version once you get used to it. Only downside I have found is that it is not so simple to scan documents in.

Answer 3

Student version is only licensed for use by people who are in, or who's immediate family is in education, or is an educator. It can't therefore, be used for business purposes. There is nothing stopping anyone from buying a student version - and last time I checked it included 3 licences, however, it is possible to check if a Office file was created using a full version or student version, so if you intended to use it for business purposes - be careful!

Answer 4

See the link below. The primary difference is that the student package doesn't include Outlook.

Answer 5

There are the same, functionally. You can also buy M$-Word by itself. OR, try Open Office, it's free and compatible. "Save your Money!".

Answer 6
