Microsoft Office 2019 was released back in September 2018. It took a number of iterations for the Microsoft Office 2019 to see the final release. At the time of writing this guide, the MS Office 2019 is the latest version.

Especially, the students who need to make their assignments and presentations using the MS Word and MS Powerpoint, it’s really hard for them to get the MS Office.
