Does anyone know where I can get a copy or download a copy of Microsoft Office 2003 (or later) for MAC OS X? And, can someone tell me if it's free or do you need to pay a fee for it? If there's a fee, what's the cheapest price for it? Thank you in advance! (=

No Microsoft Office program is free. Additionally, MS has instituted a lot of security measures to prevent piracy.

Here is where you might get a good deal on MS Office 2003. I hope you are able to afford the full program and not just the OEM.

If you cannot afford this program, you might want to consider open office which is free and supposedly compatible with MS.

Open Office is a free Offfice Suite which has proven to be an alternatvie to Microsoft Office except for one thing that I mentioned, it's FREE. There are many other sites dedicated to Open Office and even those that offer Open Office Tutorials.
OpenOffice.org is a collection of different applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the components are designed to mirror those available in Microsoft Office. The components available include:
Writer — a word processor similar in look and feel to Microsoft Word and offering a comparable range of functions and tools. It also includes the ability to export Portable Document Format (PDF) files with no additional software, and can also function as a WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing web pages. One important difference between Writer and Microsoft Word is that in Writer, many functions and number formats from Calc (below) are available in Writer's tables. Another difference is that in Writer, automatic save is off by default.
Calc — a spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel with a roughly equivalent range of features. Calc provides a number of features not present in Excel, including a system which automatically defines series for graphing, based on the layout of the user's data. Calc is also capable of writing spreadsheets directly as a PDF file.
