Solved I can get this for Free

[EchoX860]

Should I do it, or use something else? I'd really only be using Word.

 

[Golden]

? Get what for free ? MSOffice? Why not?

 

[Brink]

It really depends on if you mean that you can get this for free legally.

 

[EchoX860]

Yes, that's what I meant legally. I have a fear of downloading Programs over P2P Sites. I get this dreading feeling that if I do the Cops will be at my house the next day or something

EDIT: I meant, should I get something better? I heard OpenOffice I think it's called, is pretty good.

 

[Brink]

LOL, just checking.

It's up to you and what you need, but Microsoft Office has more features.

 

[EchoX860]

Word is really the only thing I'd need. I'm gonna start College soon though so I'm sure I'd need other products in the long run. Office it is then, thanks Brink

EDIT: Do I need Outlook? I use WLMail 2011

 

[Brink]

That's no problem. When you install Office, you will have an option to do a custom install and select only the programs (ex: Word) that you want to install.

No, you do not need or have to install Outlook. Windows Live Mail works just fine either way.

Windows Live Mail runs pretty good...

If don't think you'll use Outlook I wouldn't get it (usually cheaper without it)

EDIT: Brink is to fast!

Cheaper than free?? Sign me up.

I get my Office free to use from the company I work with, advantage nothing is different when i work at home and I can sync toy files between the systems. Curious how do you get it free and legal

 

[Brink]

I get mine free with a TechNet subscription.

My Grandmother works for a Federal Credit Union and they do this Family Office 10 thing.

Definitely get it, then!

Even if you don't use it often, at least you'll know it's there when you want to use it.
