I have a trial version of Microsoft office. Is there a free Microsoft program that i can use?

Question

With the trial version none of my attachments load and I lose points in school because my teachers are not able to read them. Plus when I go to retrieve them they are never there and I know that I saved them. I need a better version of Microsoft Word that is free to download.

Answer 2

Microsoft Office is definitely not free - no how, no way. You can go for a free download of open office which, I am told, is comparable to Office. If you use open office and need to convert the file to MS Office, there is a free converter called:

You can get open office here:

Download Open Office

OpenOffice.org is both an open-source product and a project. The product is a multiplatform office productivity suite. It includes desktop applications such as a word processor, a spreadsheet program, a presentation manager, and a drawing program, with a user interface and feature set similar to those of other office suites. OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office.
Localizations of OpenOffice.org are available in 27 languages, with more being constantly added by the community. OpenOffice.org runs on Solaris, Linux (including PPC Linux), and Windows. Written in C++ and with documented APIs licensed under the LGPL and SISSL open-source protocols, OpenOffice.org allows any knowledgeable developer to benefit from the source.
Version 2.2 resolves security issues and includes enhanced text display, better support for Pivot Tables in Calc, and Several key improvements in Base.

The short answer is no. There is no such disc as a free Microsoft program. In fact, your system will cease to function if it is not properly registered. Part of the installation process specifically id's your computer's internal components, making forgeries or other copies unworkable. Use the suggestions the guy above made.

Answer 4

Google offers online office applications: Don't want to shell out up to $600 for Microsoft Office? Don't like the free OpenOffice suite? Don't want to have to be bothered with installing and maintaining office software at all - but still need a word processor, spreadsheet, mail and calendaring programs? Google has just released their online office applications. There's a free version and a "premier" version for $50 per user per year. Of course, the big disadvantage of software-as-service is that if you're not connected to the Internet, you can't use it. But the search giant is counting on enough people looking for office alternatives to make their latest effort a success. You can find out more here: =
