Yes; most notably, 32-bit software won't run. Click here for a list of the others; Mojave removed some functionality as well.

What is the most updated OS that will still run 32 bit software as I don't want to purchase new Office software?

Mojave. Alternatively, you can switch to a product such as LibreOffice.

LibreOffice runs in High Sierra 10.13.6 & even earlier & later!

Only a few drawbacks going to Mojave, but generally many Apps & Drivers will need updating.
