    Don't suggest downloading it! I have though about the illegal route, and everytime I try and do it, I download sh*te or bad versions....

    Any places that sell older versions of MS Office that I could pick up cheap around Limerick?

    I have a Win 7 machine, and am using Open Office, but am having problems with csv exports and imports, and a load of hassle would be saved with ms office, but trying to avoid buying a new version...........

    you can buy it reasonably priced from software4students.ie if you're a student or you have students in your family, i couldnt give you the exact price of it at the moment but it should be easy enough to find on the site- home and student edition should more than suffice for your needs! :

    Open office can be a bit buggy, have you tried libre office? I'm using it on Ubuntu and Windows 7 and find it great

    EDIT: Link

    how is it for downloading csv files. I would be downloading them daily for Google reporting purposes, and in MS Office, they open and all data is separated into their own cells.
    When I open them in OpenOffice, everything is crammed into one column. Doesn't work for me at all..........

    Haven't done it in quite a while, but from what I remember it does open everything in different columns.

    EDIT: I exported my contacts into a csv file this morning and opened in libre office calc (excel), it worked perfectly.
