Yes, you can still purchase a standalone version of Microsoft Office that is not connected to the cloud. The most recent
version available as a perpetual license is Microsoft Office 2021. This version allows you to install the software on your
computer without requiring a subscription or cloud connectivity.
However, keep in mind that while Office 2021 is primarily a local application, certain features may still have some
online components or require internet access for updates and activation. If you want a version that is entirely offline,
make sure to review the specific features before purchasing.
