Microsoft Office

My free trial on Office 2010 has run out.

Does anyone know where to get some cheap MS Office software?

Not too fussed on the most recent version, as I really only use word and excel.

Thanks

    Open Office is free and works perfectly with all Office documents.

    I'd with free4440273's link to LibreOffice. It's an offshoot of Open Office and many of the developers have moved to it. If Oracle - Open Office's new owners and the reason so many people left - ever agree to it, then LibreOffice will be renamed Open Office.

    +1 for that, it doesn't even work with my pretty basic formulae.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    But not well with VB macros and forms/modules, but fine with basic stuff and it's own macros etc.

    Yeah. OOCalc refuses to follow some ancient bug in Excel. I can't remember the exact thing, but it breaks compatibility in lots of odd places.

    On the plus side, at least OOWriter is a competent document processor. Word falls apart on docs > 30 pages, and lacks the tools for long, structured documents (although FrameMaker exceeds either app in these areas).
