Best place to get Excel/Word?

[SaltyNuts]

I only need these two. Would prefer not to license them, but own them. Don't even need most recent version. Don't care whether I get the CDs or just download them off the web. Any ideas on best places to purchase them these days?

Thanks!

upgrading to Excel 2010 will help.

If you know anyone with student id look into the dreakspark program, I got windows os' and msvc and tons of software from it. They only give you the rights to download the iso for a year so be sure to back them up but thats the best way to go, free and legal.

Microsoft eHUP for $9.95 if your employer is large enough to be listed. Assuming you are employed.

awesome! But remember if you leave your employer you can no longer use that Key/software. ()

Funny, I work for a company with ~250,000 employees. I imagine they must license +100K licenses of Microsoft Office. I tried to verify with my email address only and it couldn't validate my email. I also had a friend do the same.

Now what makes this amusing is that on LinkedIn I am only on there professionally, clearly with whom I am employed with, and the state that M$ bought LinkedIn only makes me wonder why this isn't working for me and one of my coworkers (manager; both been in company for 15-20 years).

I guess being with a big company is relative to Walmart employee base.

My understanding is that eHUP is an added-cost option to the enterprise license. The IT department at my former employer explained that they had opted not to spend the additional bucks. Made me sad, but also gave me reason to not bring work home.

Go to your nearest Walmart and get office home and student or get it directly from MS https://products.office.com/en-us/home-and-student.
