Using Microsoft Office Starter Edition

Microsoft Office Starter Edition replaces Microsoft Works as a base productivity suite. It also replaces the Microsoft Office limited time trial versions that manufacturers pre-installed on some of their models.

It also includes advertising that appears in an area to the right of the document that is non-removable.
