Microsoft package

dlk

My daughter who is learning from home for the foreseeable future needs access to Word and PowerPoint for her home learning work that the school is sending. In the past I avoided the annual subscription model and bought a basic package for one device for about £50 which was permanently installed. I cant find where to buy a similar deal now for her computer. 
Does anyone know where or how I can get her Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc relatively cheaply?

There was a Groupon deal yesterday which might be of interest.

You can get educational versions of Office. For example https://softmall.co.uk/product/microsoft-office-2019-home-and-student-windows10/.
You can also use something like Libre Office which is free, saves in office format and is nearly as good (caveat perhaps not for complex use of the spreadsheet).

That educational package looks perfect, thank you!

And £50 for a pukka Office Business (includes the rather bloated but popular Outlook.) is not bad.

I bought a 5 user copy of MS Office 365 off eBay - it cost less than a fiver.

She may be able to get Office 365 for free, https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/education/Products/office .

Depending on your computer and internet connection, the Office Web Apps could work well. But I find they're slow on old computers (and I'm talking stuff that's about a decade old, mind you).
