The answer to the above question is according to Microsoft documentation :- "you can continue to use it as long as you need". How satisfied are you with this reply? Graham Mayor MVP. If you look at any of the dozens of similar questions in this forum over the past few days you will see that the file associations for Office products have been screwed up by a defective Windows update.
You should be able to reassociate your documents with "Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler" which is the document handler for Starter. A subscription to make the most of your time. But with one exception, he declined to get specific about what would be included in Word Starter and Excel Starter , or what features within the for-money versions would be omitted. Office Starter will include on-screen advertisements, acknowledged Numoto, making it the first edition of Microsoft's long-standing desktop suite to do so.
Microsoft will also use a new technology, called Click-To-Run, to deliver Office trial editions to owners of older PCs. The technology, which the company debuted in the Technical Preview of Office that went out to an invitation-only group of testers in July, "streams" pieces of the suite to users who begin a download, letting them start using the suite within minutes.
While users work with the trial, the remainder of the code is downloaded in the background by Click-To-Run. The installer adds a few new shortcuts in the Microsoft Office group on the Start menu. When you first start Office, it asks for your name and initials, downloads some installer files from the Internet, helps you set up Automatic Updates, and then opens Word with a "getting started" document.
If you've already used , you might not notice the differences in Word immediately. The commands available on the Home, Insert, Page Layout, and Mailings tabs are virtually identical to those on the full Office versions. Tabs containing commands for advanced features: References, Review, View, and Add-ins, to be specific.
A few of the commands normally found on those tabs have been moved in Starter edition. The Spelling command, normally located on the Review tab, gets moved to the Home tab in Office Starter You can't review documents and track changes among multiple authors, nor can you build an automatically formatted table of contents.
Among the features that are still present are the full set of new picture-editing tools in Office Interestingly, the notoriously difficult mail-merge feature is also intact in Word Starter. Excel follows a similar pattern. In terms of formatting, data entry, and charting, you can do anything in Excel Starter that you would normally do in the full Office versions.
The missing tabs in this case include Data, Review, View, and Add-ins. Thus, you can't insert comments into a worksheet, nor can you connect to an external data source or build a PivotTable. If you try to open a workbook that contains a PivotTable prepared using the full version, you see the results of the PivotTable, but you can't edit it or change its configuration. For that you'll need the full version. The most interesting new feature in Office —Backstage view—is essentially unchanged in Word and Excel Starter.
You can view recent files, inspect document properties, use sample templates or download additional templates from Office. So what's the catch? Just look on the right side of the program window, where you'll see a pane whose width is fixed at pixels including borders. It includes a skimpy selection of help links, but its real purpose is the square-format ad at the bottom of the pane. Currently, that square contains ads from Microsoft—encouraging you to upgrade to a full version, get free templates, and perform other Office-related tasks.
But the license agreement makes it clear that that space could be turned over to third-party advertising at any time. It has been replaced with the Ribbon UI. Comments No responses found. Be the first to comment Notify me by email when others post comments to this article.
