    why? as thomas says open office will do excel 2003 no problem

    The course may just require Microsoft Access to be used by the student.

    If you are a student then full office 200X is 17.50. If you go to PC world I think its about £50 for their student deal thing. You basically buy a ticket from pcw and then you fill out the form and then send it off and MS send you back the software. Or maybe its changed (that was 7 years ago!) maybe they just give you the DVDs now and when you register online you have to fill out your student details. God knows, things change so fast.

    If you know anyone who works for a big firm (like me) then they can order you the affiliate software deal for 17.50. I'm sure you must know someone who works for a one of the big four consulting firms (Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, IBM) any of them give their employees a deal where they can buy MS software for home use at basically cost price. The dvds and packaging probably cost something like 5-6 and then the postage etc.

    Lastly you can do an ebay. I'm sure many people have it.

    I'm sure someone will have a proper copy of it lying around that they can give you (legally by uninstalling their version)
  • I work for a consultancy firm, I bought my copy of Office 2007 Pro for £17.99 :) Find someone like me

    Can you not borrow it from somewhere? Library? Friends? Course mates? Does the course not supply access to the software?

    When I went to uni I never purchased a book let alone software and got my degree ;):D

    NHS emplyees and students get access to cheap legal copies of office that is the only legal way to get it cheap.

    Illegally there are loads of ways but they cant be discussed on here.
