Office

The Office package is usually installed natively on Windows systems, in this way we can take advantage of its features, either for the trial month, or because the device we have purchased includes licenses or subscriptions to Office 365 in the price of buys. However, sometimes we find it a bit difficult to find these apps for some reason. We are going to teach you how to find the Office applications in Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 in the easiest wayAs always, our tutorials help you get the most out of your Microsoft Windows PC.

Office on Windows 10

Microsoft warns that with more than 512 applications it is possible to experience errors when searching for them, however, for this we will only have to update Windows to the latest version available. In short, to search for Office applications in Windows 10 we will simply go to the Start menu, and we will begin to write the application we are looking for without pressing anything other than the keys, Word, Excel or whatever we put in the upper menu will appear.

The other way is to go to Start> All applications and look for the Office package that should actually appear in the "O". It is recommended that we press the second button and anchor the one we use the most to the start menu.

Office on Windows 8

We will open the start menu and, as in Windows 10, we will begin to write the name of the application that we want to use at that moment. The search will open automatically and show us the one we are looking for.

If this fails, press the arrow in the lower left corner, we will open the applications, looking for "Microsoft Office 2013" or the one we have installed. We also recommend pinning to the start menu whatever is the one we usually use.

Office on Windows 7

The procedure is similar, we open start and type the application we are looking for. If it does not appear, click on "All programs" and look for "Microsoft Office", opening the folder will show all installed. It is quite simple and here we also recommend anchoring the ones that we usually use at the beginning.
