Hi Rebecca. I use Office 2010 on this computer (Windows 10) and I'm quite ok with it. I was considering getting office 2016 because I had applied to a remote (home-based) job and they had asked if I had a recent version of Office. Turns out, I didn't get the job after all, so it's not a pressing issue for me anymore. I did use Office 2016 at my old (not home-based) work, and it worked well enough, but I can't say I really noted any practical benefits over the version I have now. It was easier to get to certain things that I used for that job, like the accessibility checker, which I didn't even realise was a feature of 2010 until recently. But honestly, even though I used that at work, it isn't all that important to me. I would consider an upgrade to 2016 still, but probably not 365, as I understand that is the Office subscription-based service, which doesn't sound all that ideal, to me.

But I'm still using Office 2010. I hesitate to update since on the list at least, and probably naturally enough, I see more problems than benefits. I've been reading a bit about 2016 and 365 from books on each downloaded from Bookshare. Does anyone have any thoughts about either? It seems these days that screen readers are always playing catch-up as Microsoft constantly introduces changes. Since my computer is behaving and I don't need a new one, the upgrade to a later version of Office would be a choice and not a necessity. Just wondering about others' experiences. Thoughts would be appreciated.
