    Hi
    That openoffice.org is a good one to use.
    You probably only need to install the word processor and the spreadsheet. These are called 'Writer' and 'Calc'.

    MS Office 2010 Beta is still available as a free download; fully-functioning but with an expiry date (I think October 2010) ;)
  • Another vote for Open Office. It's undeniably the best free office software available.
    Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!

    Thanks to every one for the replies, I did forget to mention I have windows 7, is open office still compatible?

    OpenOffice is way better than MS Office, that's why so many Govt. depts, universities and large organisations are moving to it.
