Where can I buy software JUST ONLY for Word for Windows ?

[Lois-ellin]

The emachines (brand new!) I bought has a word program from Hades. I need
ONLY the Microsoft Word for Windows. I don't want to buy the $400 office
package---just either download or buy a disk or whatever so I can open Word
for Windows documents, edit them, store them, write them, and use the Word
for Windows program.

How can I do this?

Many thanks---Lois-ellin

Hi Lois-ellin ,

I don't think you can. However, this newsgroup is specifically for matters
dealing with Microsoft Project. I suggest you try to find a more
appropriate newsgroup that deals with Office problems.

Could you please tell us what led you to chose this newsgroup? We would
really like to know!

If the $400 price tag for office seems too high I might suggest that you try
Open Office instead. The current version handles Word files pretty well, the
testing/beta version handles them very well indeed. It has a built in export
to PDF anyway which is a considerably better format to distribute files in
than .doc as, I am sure you have noticed this, not everyone has MS Word

The URL is www.openoffice.org and it's free so you lose nothing by giving it
a go.

Any computer store carries or can order Word as a stand-alone product or you
can get a version of MS Works which includes Word as its word processor.
