And though it is not a desktop application, MS Office Online is the closest you\u2019ll ever come to legally acquiring a free copy of Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office Online was created by Microsoft no doubt as an answer to Google Docs, but unlike Google Docs it has the Office applications with which you&#8217;re no doubt familiar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">And let&#8217;s be honest. Yes, it&#8217;s true, it is a trimmed-down version of Microsoft Office. It lacks many of Microsoft Office\u2019s advanced features. But if you want basic Microsoft Office features, Microsoft Office Online may be just what you\u2019re looking for. Microsoft Office Online has online versions of MS Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, and Excel that you can use free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Most file types that work with Microsoft Office will work with Microsoft Office Online. And that means you can edit any file and then save a copy to your computer or save online. You can also create files using Microsoft Office Online and save them in the cloud or download them to your computer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2020\/oonline0.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Office Online - Cloudeight Freeware Pick\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">MS Office applications available with Microsoft Office Online are shown above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2020\/oonline.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Office Online - Cloudeight Freeware Pick\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Open a recent document or file, a document you&#8217;ve pinned, or one that was shared with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2020\/oonline1.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Office Online - Cloudeight Freeware Pick\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Upload a file from your computer to MS Office Online and edit it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2020\/oonline2.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Office Online - Cloudeight Freeware Pick\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Edit a document using MS Office Online.
