Office 365 or Office 2010

[FitzOne]

Hi, I currently have a 32bit pc running Vista and using Office 2007 which I would like to upgrade shortly but in the meantime, I have purchased a new pc running Windows 8 and need to decide which office product to purchase.

I use word/excel/powerpoint/publisher & OneNote, all to the degree where I use macros and personally designed templates.



My dilema is when searching MS and other references, it does not make it clear if I were to upgrade to Office 365, whether all this is still possible to use "off-line" and whether full personalisation will still be available to me? Whilst wanting to keep up-to-date with new programs, I do not want to only use them "on-line" nor loose functionality - if someone can clearly advise, I'd be really grateful
