Hi,
Help needed urgently.
I've just purchased microsoft office so that my son can do his homework, but I now need to choose to download the 32 or the 64 bit version. As I don't understand the difference between these, I do not know which one I should choose, so I am hoping that someone who understands these things can offer some advice. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Regards kje.

Just go for the 32 bit version - it will run on both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, whereas the 64 bit version will run on 64-bit Windows only.
Plus there's no real advantage to running the 64 bit version of Office.poppy100 -
Hi Browntonia, 64 bit windows 7.0
