Hello
 
Thanks for all the comments and advice on buying MS Office. I contacted the U3A 
Head Office and was offered MS Office 2007 professional at £97.03 incl vat and 
del. but felt this was beyond my budget.
 
I have since found Software4Students who are a Microsoft Authorised Reseller 
who are offering Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 for £59.95 plus p & p total 
£61.45 - this comprises:-
 
Microsoft Office Excel 2007 
Microsoft Office Word 2007 
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 
Microsoft Office Access 2007 
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 3 
Microsoft Office Groove 2007 
Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 
Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 
Microsoft Office Publisher 2007
 
 To purchase from them you are required to be a student or parent/guardian at a 
registered educational institute. As I am still an Open University Student I 
specified the OU as my educational institute. On looking at the schools and 
colleges etc registered I would have thought the U3A would qualify for the same 
discounts but I could not find them listed.

I will keep you posted how I get on but as I have always used MS software I am 
not too happy with others that are not entirely compatible.
 
Anyone wanting to try MS Office 2007 can load it directly into their browser at

You should be careful to click on Take a Test Drive TRY NOW rather than 
Download a free trial.

Regards Ron :-)
