Getting Office

[stuart]

Hi,

I require Word, Excel and PowerPoint on my home PC but cannot afford the £300+ cost of Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition. Is it possible to get it cheaper or perhaps know where I can get an older version? Alternatively can I use the Student and Teacher Edition, but I am neither? Or is there equivalent software which is just as good (or better!) from another company?

Thanks.

The Organizer program that comes with this suite makes it an excellent
choice as well.
