Hi Princesa, I believe you are a bit confused.
This is OpenOffice.org - not Microsoft. Microsoft is our biggest competitor. We do not offer any Microsoft products here. What we do offer is a full featured, MS compatible office suite that runs on many operating systems. If you'd like a free office suite for your new Mac, just visit http://www.neooffice.org/ and download the free port of OpenOffice.org to the Mac. OpenOffice.org (and NeoOffice) offer, free of charge, all the software you will need for college. A word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation program, and more. You can create and edit MS Word documents, MS Excel spreadsheets, and MS Powerpoint presentations. You can also create PDFs and Flash animations. If all you need is a simple word processor, Text Edit will come with your new Mac, and can create simple MS Word documents. There is also AbiWord - http://www.abiword.com/ - which is a free word processor that runs on Mac (and many other operating systems). There is no legal way to get Microsoft Office for free, unless someone buys it for you as a gift. I hope that clears things up. On 2/28/06, Princesa Mendoza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello.
