Which version of Office do I have? - The user interface tells you

The easiest way to identify the version of Office installed on your computer is the user interface, which is different in each edition.

• Open any office program and compare the user interface on your computer with our screenshots in the picture gallery. We used Word as an example. Basically, the other products look the same.
• If your user interface is not shown on our screenshots, you can find all versions of Office on this Microsoft support page.
