DramaQueenLucy Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I am needing a copy of at least the student version of MS Office, I would like to get multi user or something so I can put it on the kids computers....so they will not be asking for mine when they have reports. I have found the student version for $100.00.
AcLaramie Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 That is the cheapest I have found it, unfortunately. I would love to find a deal on it.
sgigi Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I've been looking at buying this too for the same reason. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Amazon has it for $84.99. Check it out. Is it for multiusers? http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-Home-Student-2007/dp/B000HCZ8EO/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1
Marcster Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Here is a three-user student version for $84.95:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116135 Are you certain they need M$ Office? Open Office, which is donationware from openoffice.org has 85% of the same functions and can easily open, edit and save in the Microsoft formats (.doc, .xls, etc.) OpenOffice can even be installed on a flash drive so they can work on any computer, including computer labs at school or at "Grandma's house". --- However, if they MUST use Microsoft Office, the best deal is through the "Ultimate Steal" offer:http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=82415 (it's for the Ultimate version, not the stripped down Student version) Apparently, Microsoft is going to start that up again on August 20th.

It can save/read most office formats.
nat1jen Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I purchased my version of MS Office 2007 (Student and Home version) at Costco. I think it was right around $100.
DramaQueenLucy Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 The school is requiring MS Office for an intro to careers course that DS16 is taking.

mom2twoblessings Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I got the whole Microsoft Office suite for $59 or $69 last year I think. They said it was valued over $500. It was a special promo through Microsoft but you had to have a .edu email address.

DramaQueenLucy Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 Have they set up any special educational purchasing arrangement with MS?Not that I know of but I am going to e-mail the teacher today to see what can be done.
Scott Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Newegg has it on special today! http://www.gottadeal.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1299445#post1299445
mom2twoblessings Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I got it through microsoft's website after one of my professors told me about it. I was using Open Office and had problems converting some things for a paper.
