Using Office 365 And Multiple Log Ins On Windows 8

[Page]

When I set a new laptop up I normally create an admin account and then a user account

This means that if I need to sort out problems I can gain access and not have al the users clobber etc but my own

We are considering moving to office365 where you have a local install of the office applications

Okay this is fine since I can set it up for the user with their log in etc

But if I need to go in and sort some stuff out I may need under the admin account access to say excel or something

So now what happens - can I get access to Excel at all or ??

With a disc install of office it has never been a problem but in the modern world of online and everything being connected and controlled then I am not so sure it will be possible

(And yes I want office)

I'm considering move to office 365 too, but i saw there are less formating tools, anyone use it and can tell me if this is the same as the original office?

I am not sure what you mean when you are saying formatting tools but there are versions that download to your PC full copies of everything

I would not touch the online only versions to slow and to restricted

A basic Office 365 subscription delivers a cloud based SharePoint suite with a huge range of functionality. It also delivers the web versions of MS Office. That is, you can create Excel spreadsheets or Word documents and others using only a web browser, but the range of Word, Excel tools are reduced compared to the PC versions. If you already have a PC based MS Office (or Word, or Excel etc) Office 365 will integrate with these applications, allowing you to edit or create documents on the PC and store them in your SharePoint collections in the cloud. If you purchase the next priced Office 365 subscription you get a full PC based MS Office suite for each user in addition to the web versions.

You can also buy the lower priced subscription and install Open Office (it's free) on your PC. This integrates well with Office 365
