The most economical way to get Word is as part of Works Suite (not just
Works). With the discounts and free shipping available online, added to the
$20 mail-in rebate being offered through January 1, 2006, you can get Works
Suite for well under $100. In addition to Word 2002, Works Suite 2005
includes Works 8, Encarta 2005, Money 2005, PictureIt! Premium 10, and
Streets & Trips 2005. See
