How can I just get Microsoft Word and Powerpoint?

Question

I just need to get those two rather than the whole lot of things that it comes with.
Can't I just pay for the ones that I need?
If I can, can you tell me how???

On the left hand side you will see a list of 'Desktop Programs' you can purchase what you need instead of all of them.

Also if you were looking for something free you can test out http://www.openoffice.org It's just like microsoft and I have had no problems opening open office documents in microsoft's word/excel/powerpoint. It's just another option.
