Thanks

I don't think you can do that(at least 2007 version.)
But you can get OpenOffice for free.

Not legally. You can get a free trial from Microsoft, or use the free Open Office. Features aren't as good, though.

Nowhere - Microsoft Office isn't free.

Openoffice is the free one.

I'm pretty sure its illegal to download and use an unlicensed copy of Microsoft Office. I would go for OpenOffice, which is freeware. And considering its free, its well worth it in my opinion!

Indeed, OpenOffice isn't made by Microsoft either so if your looking to learn how to use MS Office then your better off going here www.software4students.co.uk and you can get office for £30 - lol no, you cant get retail MS office for free

OpenOffice isn't as good as MS Office but you do get a word, excel, powerpoint and database program, no good if your in education though.

Thanks guys, I have it at work but need it for home. I just wanted it to be able to edit Word documents at home that have been sent from work! But it sounds like Open office does that so thanks guys!

Be careful to save anything you do in OpenOffice as Word 97 - 2003 otherwise you won't be able to open it at work!

How big a company is this, as they may have an employee purchase scheme.

Yes. The latest release of OO can open .docx files.
