    Hi,

    Is there any way I can use Office 2013 with a local account on Windows with M$ account? Like, I don't want my M$ account to be used with the Office suite but Windows?

    Thanks!

    Could sign out of your account when you open word or something like that. File > Account > Sign Out.
    Or you could make a local account on the computer used specifically for that.

    Thanks. I tried that first, it says you cannot sign out Windows account or something like that.

    I just tried it, it does say that- weird. Well you can switch accounts or do as I said and use a none MS local account.

    Thanks for the advice, but that's one time consuming task and I use Windows Mail and other features of Windows quite regularly.
