    This may be the wrong forum, feel free to move:)

    I need to get a Microsoft Office 2007 Package (Is 2007 the latest?). Where would I get it cheapest? Only I hear about these '91% off for students' etc. deals.

    Thanks

    hey Conor, what do you need it for exactly, just word processing, presentations? You can download OpenOffice for free, does just about everything MS office can do, can open Microsoft documents, alter or create them. The package comes with a wordprocessor (similar to word), spreadsheet program (similar to excel), presentation program (similar to powerpoint) and a database program (similar enough to access).

    Again, it's completely free, but if you want MS Office, the general version is Home and Student, which can be got for about €80ish OEM, click here for Dabs (The student/home version contains, word, excel, powerpoint and one touch).
    Retail is about 120ish. The full retail version (includes word, excel, powerpoint, publisher, access) - €560 :eek:

    You can buy the home and student edition, you don't need to be a student. Its in tesco for around €70 at the minute.

    wow, that's reasonably acceptable for a retail version NeoRox.
    Pitty 2007 is a piece of crap, it looks like an OS within an OS, tis ugly says I :P
    Ah well, at least people can't argue (for the most part) that the reason they have a pirate version is because the price was extortionate etc...

    Thanks Guys! Yep I use OpenOffice myself but my mam is doing some MS Office course so she needs it.

    What exactly is in that Home and Student edition? Is it just
    Microsoft Excel
    Microsoft OneNote
    Microsoft Powerpoint
    Microsoft Word?

    I'd need Microsoft Access, is that there? Or do I need a different version?

    Edit: Okay I think this is the one I need. With Access and OneNote. Is there a cheaper one?

    Hi Conor, Microsoft Office Professional Plus will do you either from that site and its a few quid cheaper too. Your Mam probably wont need OneNote.
