MS Office is not free, you have to pay for it.

You will not get it legally for free.
If you are a student, have a child in education or work for the NHS you can get it a substantial discount.

Students/Staff (anyone with a .ac.uk email basically) can get Office 2007 Ultimate for £38.95 [and Windows Vista Ultimate for the £40.95 - US$10 goes to fighting AIDS in Africa]. This is an official Microsoft Offer called the Ultimate Steal - my College links to this as part of its student information

The Ultimate Steal

NHS employees (i.e. have an .nhs.uk email] can get a version of Office for £18

Alternatively, if you're in full-time education, or have kids who are, try www.software4students.co.uk where prices start at £35.

Otherwise, try OpenOffice which is free. You won't get MS Office legitimately without paying.

I would recommend Open Office - I use this all the time and so does my local council - its fully compatible with MS office

Software4students don't give you the Office 2007 Ultimate Version - i think the few extra quid is worth it

I wish people who stop saying this - it is NOT ***FULLY*** compatible with MS Office - granted the compatibility is not bad, but its the same as the other free word processors - there are several things its not good on converting and inevitably it'll be the things that catch you out (e.g. tables, footnotes, fonts) - it is a very good product

The software4students deal is open to many more people than The Ultimate Steal. And not that many people are going to need the additional features on Office Ultimate.

I work all day every day on Open Office and have never had a problem with any of its facilities or compatability, people answer other peoples questions based mainly on their own experiences as is the whole point of a forum, I suggest you check your users guide if you are having compatability problems.
