Hi Ray,
As far as I know, and I find this very annoying, Microsoft will only sell
Office online if you happen to be in the US. Don't ask me why, but when I
tried to do it once, it told me to go away, because I wasn't an US Resident.
All the best
Steve

For what its worth, I've bought a fair bit of software on-line now,
and it doesn't really make sense to do it the old way any more. All
that wasted space in a cardboard box mostly full of air!
IJust add though that quite a few venders will mai out a CD if you pay
extra, which is what I did originallly with Spysweeper - which has
appeared in the shops now. Still, makes more sense to back up to a CD
or other device.
Wonder if such exspensive apps as MS Office are sold in this way. It
should, theoretically, bring the price down a bit. Only in theory
though, I suspect!

hi alex, can't remember the last time i had to await a cd for any
program i
bought online. the vast majority allow you to download the program
once
payment is cleared. a lot in fact allow a demo version before hand and
just
email you a key to unlock all features.
