Free 'Office' software (for anyone I guess)

Hazelb_2

This is my first post which I wanted to share with other like-minded savers so hope I have the right category!

My son wanted Microsoft Office software for Uni to do word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. There is a Student version of Office available at around £50 and you can get a free trial for 60 days before you buy.

When I told one of my friends, she put me on to a very similar package called Lotus Symphony which is FREE. My son is delighted with it and uses it for all his studies.

If you google 'Lotus Symphony' it takes you straight to an IBM website where you can download it and get other useful info.
:money: Hope this helps.

Thanks for the post. AS the poster above suggests, try Open Office.

You might also get him to read Martin's article on free software, which (in addition to Office alternatives) lists lots of other useful free software and where to get it.
