Office 2007 pricing

Does anyone know of any kind of coupon for Office 2007?
My wife is a treacher, and needs Office to do her work at home.
I am on disability, so while we need a laptop, money is tight. Our 25 use
Office 2007 trial is about to run out. The OS is Vista Home Premium (came on
the computer).

Does anyone know of a version of Office 2007 at a special price for
teachers, or of a coupon to get it at a special price? I know there is, or
was a special price for students, but there was no provision for teachers in
it.

Thanks.

Hi, George,

Your wife should be able to purchase Office Home and Student, which is less
expensive than the other suites and can be installed on up to three
computers at your house. But be aware that you cannot upgrade this version
in future when a new version of Office is released. There is no requirement
to prove that you're a student (or teacher, for that matter) with Office
Home and Student, because it's also designed for home use.

Alternatively, she can check with her school to see if they offer academic
licenses -- these often have very low prices. For example, when I was
getting my Master's, I could purchase Office from my university for $10. In
order to purchase that, I did have to prove (at the university student
bookstore) that I was a student. (Different schools will have different
pricing schemes, but it's worth asking about.)
http://www.microsoft.com/Education/usacademicpricing.mspx has information
about academic licensing. This may be helpful especially if your academic
institution doesn't offer academic volume licensing (which is how my school
offers Office for $10, I'm sure).

Looks like you can get Office Pro (non-volume academic licensing) for
$199.95 or Office Home and Student for $149.95.

Office Pro (non-volume academic licensing) includes these applications:
Access, Accounting Express, Excel, Outlook with Business Contact Manager,
PowerPoint, Publisher, Word.

Office Home and Student includes these applications: Excel, OneNote,
PowerPoint, Word.
