Microsoft Word Wanted

[Alex J]

Hi

Does anyone know the cheapest / easiest (legal) way to get MS Word onto my Dell Vista Laptop?

Or, any good trial versions of MS Word i can use in the meantime?

I currently have a trial version of MS Office on my laptop, but i can only access MS Word 25 times before my trial finishes.

Thanks

Buy it. Thats the only legal way. Are you a student? Uni's/colleges often sell it dirt cheap.

Or you can consider Open Office. It has the equivalent to Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint as well as a few other apps. Its completely free and fully compatible with your existing .doc etc files. It can also save your files as MS Office files so you will have no issues with opening them on other computers.

Hope that helps, Doug.

Ditto.

OpenOffice ftw!

Or StarOffice, which is also FREE.
Edit: Nevermind, StarOffice ain't free no more.

OpenOffice ftw! Or AbiWord, which is open source but more identical to Microsoft Word than OpenOffice .

Thanks folks, Open Office looks like a useful tool
