Thanks to both of you -


Consider your purchasing options carefully. Many major brand new
computers that come with Microsoft Office preinstalled only have a
time limited trial version (30 days, 3 months or similar), after which
you have to purchase it.

If you need Microsoft Word but do not really need the other Microsoft
Office components (Excel, Power Point, Outlook etc.) then you usually
save a lot of money by purchasing Microsoft Works Suite (note that
there are two different products - Microsoft Works and Microsoft Works
Suite). Microsoft Works Suite includes Microsoft Word as the word
processing component, plus the Microsoft Works spread*** and
database plus a number of other extras.

Good luck
