As recently as 2017, according to a survey published by IT marketplace Spiceworks, Office 2010 was being used in 83 percent of the companies surveyed.

The good news is you have a lot of options, and most are reasonably priced. The bad news is that each new version gets closer and closer to subscription-based products, which means, eventually, subscriptions will be the only option available. |
