If it's specifically Microsoft office you want, what sort of budget/price are you hoping for?

In my own opinion though. Paying for any Microsoft software is a complete rip-off. There are many alternatives that are completely free. Try OpenOffice, it has everything Office can do but is totally free.

No, it can't.
For instance: Calc only supports 1024 columns compared to Excel's 16384. Pivot tables are not interchangeable between Excel and Calc, VBA support is there but limited. OpenOffice doesn't have anything like SmartArt. The proofing tools for OpenOffice are, shall we say "less robust", than in Office, Compare documents in Writer is rudimentary, Impress is nowhere near as flexible as PowerPoint and there is lots more things I could mention, but I'm bored with typing.

I'm not saying don't consider OpenOffice, it might do everything you want it to do and more, you probably never use PowerPoint or bibliographic styles or large spreadsheets but it is a myth to say it can do everything that MS Office can: it can't. That is like saying Chrome can do everything FireFox can because they are both browsers.

microsoft= not free
unless of course you go to a computer fair and buy the whole lot for a fiver, but this is highly illegal and you may be shot at dawn for doing so !!!! don't do it.
