purchase of word?

[Guest]

is there a way i can purchase only a full working version of word. my boss
uses word to email show scheduals to employees and i would like to be able to
save them. i dont have any use at all for any of the other office products
and i am not going to pay that much ******* money just for word. i have
spent half an hour searching the microsoft website and now i have to go find
some asprin and my stress ball. so again my question is about getting a full
working version of microsoft word and not going broke purchasing a bunch of
programs i will never use.

Whatever makes you happy. (Just so you aren't complaining when someone with
Word can't open your Works files.)

Get your boss to send you to a conference in Kuala Lumpur. You can pick up
'working' versions of anything at a flat rate of five ringgits a CD. That's
about $2.

Here are two *free* alternatives...

If you don't need to change anything, but just want to read and print
the documents, you can use the Word Viewer, which is a free download
from

If you do need to make changes and save them, Open Office can read and
write files in Word format: http://www.openoffice.org/

The least expensive way to purchase Word is to buy the Works Suite. It
includes Word and is less expensive than the stand-alone version of Word.
