    Well there's Open Office, or there's the less than legal option, but that's not for here. :)

    If I had to pay for MSO from my own pocket, I’d go with Open Office.

    Works Suite (NOT MS Works) is a cheap way to get Word and a few more goodies.

    Open Office rocks. It'll do most of what MS office does, and the price is right! :thumb:

    Agreed Open Office is great. It can read and save pretty much all MS Office and Lotus SmartSuite files, except Access DBs, and a couple of others.

    MS say Open Office is appox. equivalent to MS Office 97 in it's features; it can still open and save Office 2000/3 files.
