The office suite is often essential everyday but I am not persuaded that we should choose Office Home and Student 2013. Besides the often prohibitive cost, this suite in particular demonstrated many bugs especially when using Excel and Word. For example, I often have to repair the program, because I do not open my models and my Excel sheets. It's pretty boring. My main motivation for the purchase was the relatively low price of this product. In the future, I'll probably direct me to a suite more "high-end" in the hope that these problems will not occur.
