There are two styles of naming versions of Micrsoft Office software, the Retail name, and the “code name” which matches actual folder name where it’s stored:
- Retail: Eg: Microsoft Office 2013
- Code / Folder name: Eg:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
| Retail | Code Name / Folder | |
|---|---|---|
| 2003 | 11 | |
| 2007 | 12 | |
| [skipped] | 13 [1] | |
| 2010 | 14 | |
| 2013 | 15 | |
| 2016 | 16 | (They sorta match for the first time) |
| 2019 | 16 | (They froze the version number) |
