I saw today that Microsoft has removed the documentation files (in Help) for Office 2010, and replaced them with a stern directive to buy a new version of Office. I don’t normally need those files, but sometimes I forget where an item is, or need to do something unusual (for me).
I’m not going to buy an Office subscription, because I am retired and do not need it. When Office 2010 really expires, I will move to Libre Office. I understand the risks of using an old version of Office. However, I think that removing the documentation files is just cheeky of Microsoft. I don’t expect any updates or new materials but it cannot cost them any significant amount to keep the files available.
As I say, it is an unjustified impediment to me using a product I paid good money for – a bit of built-in obsolescence that is unnecessary.
