Difference Among Office Versions

[Sounderdog]

I am considering transitioning from Corel WordPerfect Office 12 to Microsolft
Office 2007. Being a high school student who will soon be in college, I am
somewhat uncertain as to what version of Office to buy. The only three
applications I want are Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, so the Home and Student
edition should be perfect for me right? It is the low price that worries me.
I want to make sure that all of the program features that come with the
Standard edition are also in the Home and Student edition. In other words, I
don't want a run-down version of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I want full
functionality. The low price makes it seem like certain features would be
cut out of the Home/Student version. Is this true, or do all the versions
contain the exact same programs, the only difference being that each package
contains a different combination of programs?

Thanks for your help,
Eric

All Office programs are the same irrespective of the Office suite.

Eric, Check out http://www.theultimatesteal.com/home.asp. Students can
get Microsoft Ultimate for $59.99 (must have .edu email address).
That's what I did, and it is all the Real Deal. If you don't want all
the applications (there are a bunch), you can do a custom installation
and not install them all.

Best,
Kris

Thanks everyone for the helpful information. And, hats off to Kris for
letting me in on his little secret. The only problem is that I will have to
wait until I am in college and have a .edu email address, by which time the
offer might dissapear.
