If you want something that will do everything you want, is easier to use than openoffice, is also free, and is only 5mb instead of 90mb to download, then try abiword:\nhttp://www.abiword.com/

Sorry dude, that's not possible.  Legal and free download of MS Office does not exist and it does not come with every computer any more.  You have to buy it.  The student/teacher edition is pretty cheap if you qualify.  I think you can get the whole thing for less than 200 bucks.\n\nYou can look around on www.pricegrabber.com for the best deal but I'm not sure all of the software sellers are legit.

You should get openoffice. It is the same thing but free.

You can go to the Microsoft Website and download a 30-day trial of MS Office.\nYou can go to ebay and purchase an older version of Office for not a lot of money (like MS Office 2000 or earlier).  Make sure it's an original CD.\nFind a friend that has a disk and doesn't use it.\nThese are the only legal ways I know of.

Hello Needy:\n\nThe pirated software you have is no good because it requires you to register with Microsoft over the internet. If you dont register, your software will be deactivated with reduced functionality. If you register online, you will be prompted to convert your software into a genuine  copy. It may cost you around $200-$300. Gone are the days when one could use a pirated copy of XP/OFFICE and other Microsoft products.\n\nSorry, you have to BUY the software license.

I have Microsoft office XP on my PC. And I have installed Microsoft Project manager 2003. It's working any problem.

If you're talking about Microsoft Office Student/Teacher Edition - any retailer will sell it without proof of student teacher status, and no proof is need to activate it with Microsoft.

Well if your open to new things I would suggest trying OpenOffice which is completely free and has all the features of MS Office Pro. The program is able to ready almost every filetype and allow you to edit it. However, if you "need" MS Office i would suggest getting Student Teacher Edition for $149. It allows you to install the program on up to 3 computers and it comes with all that you need. The other editions of the program can be as expencive as $499 and are all avable and your local Office supply store, Consumer Electronic's store, and Online via retailers like Newegg or directly threw the big blue monster Mircosoft.

I am running MS Office 2000 with Windows 98 SE. So you can run it on XP.\n\nRequest the Service Pack 2 in a hard copy from Microsoft. (its free) don't download it from the site. That way you can be sure you are getting the correct CD.

A few years ago, I did a comparison test between Office, OpenOffice 1.1.x, and 602PC Suite 4.x.  I'm pretty demanding in terms of formatting and what not.  I take time to make a document look nice so that requires alot of tricks (setting margins, setting blank lines to certain sizes, etc) but they are not overly complicated.\n\nI really wanted to like the alternatives but I was a bit disappointed that OpenOffice and 602PC Suite could open MS Office documents but their formatting was a bit off.  Some items were too wide or sizes were just not the same so I kept using Office.  I see that OpenOffice released version 2.0 so I may take a look at it again.\n\nAs a student, using OpenOffice would work because there's less of a need to share files to others.  You tend to create documents for your own assignments.  In the workplace, however, the gold standard is still MS Office.  If your report is sent to a manager or a resume is sent to a recruiter and the formatting is all funked up, that's gonna be one ding against you.

A couple of things to keep in mind:\n\n1. getting a bootleg product key is illegal.\n2. Even if you want to use an illegal key you would be able to activate the software, which will make the software useless.\n\nSuggest you go out and buy MS Office. You can get the student/teacher edition (which is essentially the same as the standard edition) for less than $100.00.

It depends on the school.  Many schools especially ones with strong engineering/CS departments have relationships with Microsoft.  I got XP for $12 at my school
