Microsoft Office for £39

[Danny]

A full version of Office is apparently available to any students or academics with a .ac email address for £39.

As I am neither I don't qualify but thought it might be of interest to others.

Details are available here.

Ohhhhh I do. Cheers DannyG that's not altogether helpful to me, but will be no doubt for a future computer.

Star Office is free, just as good and as far as I know fully compatable.

 

[Shaun]

Or try Open Office - opens all MS Office docs AFAIK.

And is true of a great deal of other software. Your university or college (sometimes) will sell many different software for cheaper whether it be Microsoft Office or SPSS.

In China it's a little bit cheaper than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Software4students, standard office 2007, £35, no need to prove you're a student. (Though technically! you have to be)
I made about £300 reselling those on ebay in the summer before they cottoned on to my scheming. People really need to learn to hunt around a bit!

 

[gratts]

Oh yeah, I have an ac.uk email..That thing for £39 is a download version.
If anybody wants it I can email the link to pay and download it, just give me a PM. No idea if it'll work for someone else, but worth a try

openoffice FOC and 'FO' to microsoft at the same time

They've been around for ages, you can buy them in shops.

My son uses Open Office on his Mac and hasn't had any problems. I don't like the new version of MS Office, it seems to me that they just changed things for the sake of it and you have to learn a whole new format. It's also a pain as far as backward compatibility is concerned.

Helpful stuff chaps. I might upgrade my PC after Xmas , when I hope they will be giving them away on the high street , and I don't want to shell out for software.

Whatever you do - don't get Office 2007 - unless you are absolutely sure, used it at work or something.

The totally unecessary changes Microsoft introduced killed my productivity for months when i changed from Office 2003 in my last job.

Now I'm self-employed it's back to 2003 version and MUCH prefer it.
