Hello,
I am after some help when it comes to computers I am a novice.
I have just purchased my son a secon hand pc that is running on Windows xp.
He wants microsoft office ie powerpoint etc put onto computer but when I
look online for it there is microsoft office for sp1 sp2 etc.
As I said my sons computer is Windows xp can you let me know the exact
microsoft office I need for this system.
Many thanks.

Those are service packs.
Office 2003 will be a good one.

Otherwise he can go for Open Office.

That's not "for" SP1, SP2, etc. MS Office also has security packs that have
to be maintained.

If you're not down with the idea of spending a couple hundred bucks on
software that could be better spent as a deposit into your son's college
fund, I strongly suggest checking out http://www.openoffice.org/ for a 100%
MS Office compatible, free software alternative.
