Microsoft Office discounted for students

I am not associated with Microsoft, but I use Word all the time for my technical writing.

We're aware that many readers of Technically We Write are university students in technical writing programs. The academic year started in September, so this new announcement from Microsoft is very timely: Microsoft is offering a discount on Office and Word for university students.

With this deal, students can get one year for free of Microsoft 365 Personal (plus apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) then half off after that. All you need to do is sign up using your university's email address (the .edu part is important, because that indicates you are a student).

If you're interested in exploring Microsoft Office for your technical writing, and you're a student at a university, this could be a good opportunity. If you're interested, give it a try.
