I do know if you are a student you can order it from Software4Students (http://www.software4students.co.uk/Microsoft_Office_2010_Professional_Plus-details.aspx) for £37.89 if you're a student. Oh, wait a minute, I AM ONE!!! :jumping: :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :star: :star:

I was sent a password, about 25-30 numbers and letters, and went on the MS site and downloaded. I am not sure, but he may have got it via work?

I had to pay via a card and all was sorted.

Dunno if I can just buy the one copy...

Post by: bacillus on September 21, 2011, 08:58:32 pm: Unless you work with very large excel files, stick with the 32 bit version of office even when using 64 bit windows.

Surprisingly this advice comes from Microsoft. :smiley:

Post by: vRS Carl on September 21, 2011, 09:32:23 pm: Depends if you can get access to the home use program. I got genuine Office 2010 and Office for Mac 2011 for £8.95 :wink:

Forces can get access to it which is how i got mine. Maybe you can through your business.

Post by: Ifti on September 21, 2011, 10:22:46 pm: I may be able to get Office 2010 pretty cheap.
I used to have a load of Windows 7 licenses as well, which many forum members purchased and used perfectly fine.
If I have enough people interested in Office 2010 I may be able to get it pretty cheap.
PM me if interested :happy2:

Post by: edd666999 on September 22, 2011, 06:47:26 pm: bigger company's employees are able to purchase it for like £9, you need to speak to your i.t/HR departments.

You can also use open office which is free and thunderbird as your mail program which is free.

Post by: neg on September 22, 2011, 08:27:53 pm: Thats the thing, bigger companies tend to use OVL, smaller tend to buy OEM when they get a new PC and cant benefit from this - OEM being a fair bit cheaper.

If i am honest Open Office is in most respects betters than MS Office. THe main advantage is that it is less fluffy. Functionality wise it is all there.
