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.
**Important: After you have rolled back to Office 2013, make sure you read this article to prevent Office 365 ProPlus/Office 365 Business from automatically updating to Office 2016 directly from the internet. "Method 2" in the article may applies to you.

Here are the steps to switch back to Office 2013 as a temporary workaround:
Uninstall Office 2013, Office 2016, or Office 365 from a Windows computer

Sorry for duplicating the answers but every time I press the reply it did not respond I have to press again. Something is wrong with this forum.
Search the version you need and change the letters: en-us for sv-se or if you need it another language change that letters
Here is the small business premium version:

Here is the home premium version in your language:
RickStrobel, I did the same. I think this is sufficient.
thank you, thank you, thank you!
the link you provided for the "small business premium" installer worked perfectly.
now, how do i prevent office 2016 from installing. i know you provided instructions earlier, but i'm not sure they apply to our edition of office 365. within word i click file then account and choose "disable updates" under "office updates". is that sufficient?
