Hi,
How do I go about getting an older version of Office?
I mistakenly upgraded to Office 2016, not knowing Outlook 2016 did not support Exchange 2007. I need to fix this, and the most logical solution (I think) is "downgrading" to Office 2013 (whick worked fine). However; I can't find an option for downloading an earlier version of Office in the Office 365 online portal - only the "latest version" is available.
Please help, as I need to access my work mail accounts!
Thank you in advance,
Joakim

Hi Joakim,
Sorry for the inconvenience it caused. It is a known issue that Outlook 2016 cannot connect to Exchange 2007 in a hybrid scenario. Our related team are working on it.

I need link to Office SMALL Business Premium, not Business Premium.
Business Premium version is not working with my license to Small Business Premium.
Jim's post (2nd in this thread) has a link to what you need. Make sure you correctly uninstall 2016 (via control panel or fix it) first.
Can you provide me me with link to Office 365 Small Business Premium 2013 - I had this version, before I installed 2016. My company uses MS Exchange 2007. I nned to downgrade to Office 365 Small Business Premium 2013, but I cannot find the source. Thank you in advance!
