Hi,

Ive been using Microsoft office word for doing my policies etc and its been brilliant.
Unfortunately its come to the end of my 3 month trial and i really want to get it to continue to use it. However it is very expensive!:blush:
So I just wondered from those of you who have it how much you got it for and where?
And do you need to buy the whole thing cos my trial had loads of office things but i just need word just now really.
Hope you all understand what im blethering on about ... again!!:blush:
Thanx

I know they do it cheap for students so if you aren't studying, haven't got kids studying could you ask to borrow a kids name to put it in?

I got the Home and Student edition from Amazon.

It was £79 I think and has been great.

otherwise Open Office is free, compatible with Word and excel and very good :D

Hey I had the same problem not too long ago and was going to buy another one but ended up downloading a different type of trial that I can use until next month but when that expires I am going to buy mine from here

They are really cheap maybe if you have kids or family member that studies.

I got mine for £38 check out the money saving expert as he can recommend where you can get it. All you need is an email address that has ac.uk at the end to get it at student rate.

Mine is the same and I spoke to SCMA about it and she said you can claim the cost back as you do need it for cm I havent done it yet as the one I looked at was £98, I will ask the IT guy at work today to see where they get them from and if he has any product codes I can use:thumbsup:

Use Open Office - free and fine! Easily convertible from/to Word too.
