I already have a 2010 version of Office for the student.. but I realized I got a 2013 book for Excel.<br />
&nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; Can the student copy with Excel 2013 book on 2010 edition. or is it better for me to return the 2013 book and try to get a 2010 book?<br />
&nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; Or as I see it, the student potentially will use the software for years to come; so I could consider upgrading to 2013 or buying a New CD for 2013.<br />
&nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; please share your review of the situation and best or optimal route to take. Student is 13 years and familiar with coding HTML, but not much &quot;office&quot; knowledge, hence this effort.

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
