Buying Word/office for Mac?

Hello
I need to get Word for my Mac as it is a pain not having it (I've held out for 4 years now!). I am a student and have seen it for £99 on amazon/apple but wonder if there is another way?
Many thanks

Do you actually need Word?
Can't you use Open Office? it's free and compatible with all Microsoft office formats.

i use openoffice too - it's very good and the price point is brilliant! :money:
seriously, it looks just like word too. i wouldn't put any microsoft garbage on my mac unless i ABSOLUTELY had to - and that will never happen!!

I've got a brand new copy that I won a while ago (not got a mac - so not much use to me!) you can make me an offer.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].0

I agree open office is free and easy to use, however remember to save it in the right format so that computers with word can open it too.0
