Is there a way to get Microsoft Word without paying the $300?

I want the old version. I had the 60 day trial on Windows Vista but I do not want to pay for the really expensive version. Any suggestions? I need it soon!!

Answer 1

www.warez-bb.org    just make an account, it takes literally 10 seconds!

Answer 2

there is a similar program you can get

it is even included in the google pack

Staroffice

Answer 3

If the 2003 Version, then look up the Student and Teacher version... it's only about $129...

You could also look for the free office suite from Microsoft they give to students who posses a .edu address.

If you don't have a .edu address get one for free at australia.edu

Answer 4

You can get the teacher/student version of MS Office fairly cheap on ebay. It includes Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. See the link below.

You can go even cheaper if, as you request in your question, you only need MS Word. I've added a link to an ebay auction for MS Works 2005 that includes MS Word 2003... starting bid $.99 with $5.99 shipping. I did this and was very happy.

Answer 5

You can try Abiword http://www.abisource.com/

which is a full featured word processor

or OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/

which contains all the productivity suites.

OR: you can buy Office 2007 Ultimate for only $59, if you are a college student.

Answer 6

I don't believe there is a way to get Microsoft Word without buying it.

However, there are some alternatives that you may want to try using.

One alternative to Microsoft Office would be OpenOffice.org, which is a software suite that has programs similar to those that would be included in Microsoft Office.

OpenOffice.org includes a word processor, a presentation program, a spreadsheet program, and more.

You can download OpenOffice.org for free from the link below.

Another alternative to using Microsoft Office would be to use Google Docs, which you can use online without having to download anything.

Google Docs has a word processor, a presentation application, and a spreadsheet application that you can use for free.

If you would like to use Google Docs, you can do so by going to the link below. However, in order to use this service, you need to have a Google Account.

Good luck and I hope I helped you!

Answer 7

Without knowing people inside the homo warez mafia community, you pretty much have to download a pirate version from a P2P network, then hope someone will give you the registration info. My advice is to not steal, and just buy it. Would you like it if people took your stuff for free? Even if they needed it soon? Get a job and be a red-blooded American for once.

Answer 8

If you know a college student you can normally get a full version with a student rate. I got the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 for under $100.

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007

Access 2007

Excel 2007

InfoPath 2007

Outlook 2007

PowerPoint 2007

Publisher 2007

Word 2007

It's on sale for 79.98 now.

Answer 10

Instead of trying to figure out how to steal it, check out OpenOffice.org  http://www.openoffice.org

It's free, and functionality is very similar to office.  It will even open word and excel documents, as well as powerpoint.
