4.5 ways to use Office on a Chromebook
Posted on July 20th, 2020 at 13:08Comment on the AskWoody LoungeInteresting article from Peter Deegan. If you really want to run Office on a Chromebook, you have these options:
- Run the Android apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote. You need an Office 365 subscription to run them on any Chromebook with a decent-sized screen ( > 10.1 inches).
- Run the free online apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote. The free online apps have several features that aren’t on the Android apps. No charge, but you’ll need a Microsoft Account.
- Run the Office mobile app which is a severely limited narrow-screen-by-default mash-up of the Office apps.
- Remote into a “real” PC or Mac. Good choice if you have fast connections, both on your Chromebook and on your “real” PC. We’re going to see something like this with Windows 10 Cloud. Wait. You’ll see.
- … and the .5 solution goes to running Windows Office on a Chromebook with Parallels. Which should happen this decade. I think.
