Office Suites

[whotheheckami]

In amongst all the cleaning I've been doing today I've rebuilt one of the PCs at home. It's now whizzing along with a legal version of WinXP. However, I have blown up my copy of MS Office Pro and I don't really want to re-install the "copy" that I have.

I know I should go out and buy a copy , but I've heard that there are some very good alternatives to MS-Office. Can anyone point me at one that they would be happy to suggest.

Have you used Openoffice?

That sounds like a cunning plan m'lord. I guess I'll be phoning my software pedlars in the morning. In the meantime I'm going to play with Openoffice

Yes. To be legitimate, your child has to use the software; it's a student & teacher edition. It's also Office, not Office Pro, so this won't do if you need Access. But there's no form of license checking.

It's Kate and I who are the students. Does Office have Poewrpoint?
