Where can I download Windows XP Office?

[Marti]

I bought a second hand laptop, but there's no Word, Excel, Powerpoint or
anything on there. Since I need those programs, I want to download Microsft
XP Office, including these programs. Where can I download Microsoft XP Office?

Your best bet is to order the software and have the CD sent to you. If your
HDD should ever crash you could wind up having to re-purchase Office XP not
to mention having to download it again. The Office XP suite is also VERY
large in size, could take a while to download. If you should run into any
problems during the down load you could winde up corruptin gyour system if
the install fails from some reason.
Just some food for thought regarding downloading the progrmas.

Best of luck to you.

You can't. You can download a /trial/ version of Office 2003
however.......(60 days and then you have to pay....)

You might do worse than look here:
www.openoffice.org

You can't download Office XP. You also cannot really download Office 2003.
You need to purchase it online and wait for the CDs to be delivered, or buy
it at a bricks and mortar store where you can walk out with the CDs in hand.

You can download a *trial* version of Office 2003 here:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx It's only good for oh, 30
days, I think it is. You can use it while you wait for the arrival of the
real install CDs, though.

You /can't/ download Office XP! Not legally, anyway.

Yes you can. Pay about $2500 US for a MSND Universal Subscription and off you go. o))

They have cheaper versions now, FYI.
