Dear @Suzanne van de Kar,

Good day. Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum. I am happy to help you!

To check your Office version, please open any Office desktop application such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, then go to File > Account. Under Product Information, you will be able to see the Office product name, version, and build number.

For more reference, please refer to: What version of Office am I using?

I hope this helps! Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated. Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day!
