Microsoft office 2007

Clarifications

You can download and install Open Office from http://www.openoffice.org. It is a free open source alternative to Office products but has the ability to both open Office files and save in .doc and .xls formats. It will also open older Office files- which Office sometimes cannot.

Unfortunately, I do not use Windows- I'm a Mac user. But I can tell you that openly posting a product key is against the law and Microsoft is cracking down hard on those who do. I believe that the fine has gone to $10,000 for each instance. And most people don't want to get caught up in anything like that.

Consider Open Office. It will give you the functionality you need without the fear of reprisal.

Sharing a key is not legal, and can cause a lot of trouble, but if you do not want to buy the 400-dollar version of MS 2007, you can get the simple Office Home and Student for $119, see: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-Home-Student-2007/dp/B000HCZ8EO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1199051794&sr=8-2

Or the above user's alternative may seem less... expensive, if you are into that, but then again, who isn't?

You say that you are a private in the army. If you visit your S3/G3 officer and have him sign you up for a course you have the ability to purchase Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for about $60.00 until Feb 2008 because of the student status. It will give you all of the Office Suite and it is a perpetual license. You visit "TheUltimateSteal.com" and they have to verify a valid school e-mail for you to receive this deal and then they will e-mail you a code to enter on the Microsoft e-store site to receive this deal. Your S3/G3 (training) Officer/SNCO should be able to get you all this information. Have fun.
