Microsoft Word 2019 for Windows – proven word processing at a low price

Word 2019 is the standalone program for letters, quotes, reports and dissertations. You buy it once and use it permanently on one Windows PC, without a subscription.

Word 2019 opens and saves DOCX, DOC, PDF and OpenDocument text, making it fully compatible with Word 2021, Word 2024 and Word for Mac.

File formats and collaboration

Word 2019 saves as DOCX, and you open older DOC files in compatibility mode. For authorities and job applications you export as PDF, and as ODT for LibreOffice users. Comments and tracked changes are preserved, even if the recipient uses a newer Word version.

Word 2019 in everyday office work

In many offices, Word is the program that is open all day. With your own templates for letters, quotes and minutes you save time with every new document. The “Compare” function shows you at a glance what has changed between two versions of a contract, and with password protection you secure confidential documents against unauthorised access.

Who is Word 2019 as a standalone program worth it for?

The standalone program is the most affordable solution if you mainly use this one program at a workstation, for example at reception, in accounting or in the home office. If you later need more programs, an Office suite is usually cheaper than several standalone programs.

Standalone program or Office suite?

You will find further editions under Microsoft Office 2019.

Word 2019 or a newer version?

Word 2019 is proven, affordable and saves in the same file formats as the newer versions. If you want the latest features, choose Word 2021 or Word 2024.

Buy once instead of subscribing

Microsoft 365 costs money every year. Office 2019, by contrast, you pay for once, and the programs stay on your computer permanently. For many users who mainly write letters, maintain spreadsheets and create presentations, this is the most economical solution – especially when several devices need to be equipped. You save your files as usual locally, on the network or with a cloud provider of your choice.
