Office 365 Questions
I purchased Microsoft Office 365 when I got a new computer after my laptop died. Why can't I open the Microsoft WORD documents that I had saved to flash drives?

I was running Office 2003 for many many years.
It still worked but was rather outdated.
I wanted to upgrade, but I detest "renting" my software. Buy it outright, own it for as long as I want is how I like it.
I broke my own thing about 3 years ago and decided to give 365 a try. 109 bucks a year. Not bad I guess considering what you get.
I am a very heavy user of Excel for my work. I have created dozens of spreadsheets to keep track of everything from labor costs to product costs, profit margins, customer tracking and much more.
I also use Word heavily and have a bunch of templates I created for various things.
I use OneNote a lot, keep all my customer information and communications in there.
I use PowerPoint for my own personal use. Scanning my fathers slide collection, I put them to PP so my family can all enjoy my tour of Europe as a child. I'm an Air Force brat.
I use Outlook as a secondary account.
I use Skype for family stuff.
I use Publisher to a lesser degree, but do make stuff in there once in a while.
I used to use Access, but drifted away from that in recent years.
I do use OneDrive too, to store some stuff. It's the only way I can sync OneNote across all my devices, including my phone so I can access all customer information from anywhere.
So, for me, it is handy. I do get my moneys worth out of it.
And yes, it is bloated, big time. There is so much useless junk in there that I don't need, but as the expression goes, it comes with the program. There are a bunch of things I don't like about it, but like I say, it comes with the program.
And I couldn't care less about the newest shiny gadgetry. I'm in it for practicality. After all, I was using 2003 up until 17... :)
