What version of Office can charitable organizations use?

[Eric Luth]

I'm trying to figure out if a charitable organization is allowed to use
Office Home & Student edition. Our charity doesn't need to use anything
other than Word and Excel and so we don't want to shell out the extra money
to purchase Office Standard. Does anyone know charities are allowed to use
the Home & Student edition?

Actually you may have the best results by going to
http://www.techSoup.com. They "sell" legal copies of software
(including Microsoft Office) to verified non-profits at RIDICULOUSLY low
prices. Way cheaper than the Home & Student Edition in fact.

an alternative is to use www.openoffice.org that can read and write
microsoft office files,
and is totally free and open source.

you can also find a portable version of this to test this out on your hard
drive without needing to install it from
