What is the cost of Microsoft software?

Question

See, some how my Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint got deleted off my computer. Me and my friend tried everything to get it back. So now all i can do is to buy Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint again. So before my parents will buy it for me, they want to know the price.
I have a lot of work to do on Microsoft !!! So i need to get it back soon.
So if you know the price of Microsoft software, that would be wounderful.
Thanks!

Answer 1

OpenOffice is free! http://www.openoffice.org

It will allow you to create and edit Microsoft files.

If you need to purchase, MS Office starts arount 300 bucks,unless you can get an educational discount (most students qualify)

Answer 2

Sounds like you're likely to be a student. Microsoft offers a huge price break to students. If you purchase before 9/3/2007 there's even a $25 rebate.

It comes to $125 US (Mac) or $130 (Windows) after rebate .T

The first link is for the Mac rebate. The second is a vendor with pricing for Mac and PC.

Answer 3

YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU HAD BACK FREE
SYSTEM RESTORE


first RIGHT click on my computer

MAKE SURE (system restore is checked)
you can also delete last restore
just click undo last restoration when you do the things below
then close that window
then
1- click start at bottom of screen
2 - then click choose all programs
3 - then click pc help tools or could be in accessory's
4 - then click on system restore
5 - then click on restore to an earlier date or factory settings
6 - choose a date when it was working - or factory settings
7 - let it run it may take a while - follow directions - if any
8 - restart THEN CHECK STATUS
choose destructive recovery as last resort you may have to look hard to find this option
on mine i went to compact system recovery
that was under pc help tools and also in accessory's


BACK UP IMPORTANT THINGS TO CD NO MATTER WHAT OPTION(S) YOU CHOOSE

after restore you need to make sure you have all windows updates

Answer 5

Usually for student software (office including all of that) costs around 120-150 dollars.

Answer 6

It can be quite expensive a few hundred dollars. If you know someone who works for a large corporation, or do yourself, they often offer MS suite to their employees for like $30. I worked at Allstate and they did it and my husband works for Marsh/McLennan, they also do it.

Answer 7

Too many versions for me to type
But you can go here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx
And find out yourself
Free trials are also available
