Microsoft evaluates ads-supported free version of Office apps on Windows

Microsoft is reportedly working on an ad-supported version of its Office applications. According to a report by Beebom, this version will allow users to access Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps for free while displaying advertisements. However, the free version will come with certain limitations and lack some features available in the paid versions.

A Microsoft representative confirmed to Engadget that the company is conducting “limited testing” for this version. Currently, free access to Microsoft Office applications is only available through the web.
