If you have children and they are at school you may get the education/student license which is around £40. Just have to prove to them the educational establishment that they are at. Apart from that the next cheapest option is OEM versions such as those available from Software Select.

£60 on Amazon.

Open office does the job for free.

anyone working for the NHS can get the full professional suite for £17! result!

or as said, open office is free and compatible.

Jim - it's not just the NHS that can get it for £17, it is any civial servant. It is done under the home working scheme to allow you to work from home when required, the trouble is I now have the latest office at home and then Office '97 at work!

wasn't sure about the rest, but i knew it applied to the NHS. I'm in the same boat as you! Cunning scheme! :confused:
