I don't believe it is.  Here is a website where you should be able to get updates:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx

I have Microsoft Office X for my Mac, and with it came a Visual Basic program.  I don't know anything about it.  Take a look at Mactopia http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ , you might find something there.

I believe it is contained in Microsoft Office 2003 Deluxe?\n\nOtherwise you'll have to use someone else's program.

Microsoft Office 2007 Beta is a test version. Office Enterprise is for corporate use. So, I'd have to say neither one of your choices is better than the other. And neither one is good. Office 2003, or Office XP is awesome. I've used it, legally, for nearly 3 years, and don't plan to replace it.

Yes OpenOffice is a complete trustworthy application. It may not be as fancy looking as MS Office latest version  but it offers many features which office does not (eg integrated PDF creator). Then local language support also have come up into it now. I have been using OpenOffice in my enetrprise for the past 2 years and there is not any issue at least in terms of the s/w. The only thing is tht users need to be trained a bit on it. Coz the attitude of ppl being "Its free so it would be featureless and non worty".\nYour concern aboout SUN is gennuine although. But If u read the policy of SUN regarding OpenOffice u ll be satisfied as it clearly says the difference b/w the free n paid version and it would continue to remain like tht. Then many unviersites of US are activly involved in developing OpenOffice so as to let it be free. \nSo all in all go ahead and make ur decision about OpenOffice

I think you have to purchase MS Office for a physical copy. I am not familiar with any place on the net that you can download it for free... unless it is a bootleg version - which is BAD!\n\nDo a search on eBay and find yourself a copy to purchase.

You can't download Ms Office, but there is a similar open source program that works just like Ms Office. It is called Open Office and can be downloaded from http://www.openoffice.org \n\nWorks like a charm!

It is currently in BETA-1 and CTP (Community Technology Preview).  There is another CTP planned for this week, then BETA-2 is set to be released about the April/May timeframe.  BETA-2 is exciting because MS is putting in all the "features".\n\nRTM is scheduled for holiday season 2006.\n\nAnd to answer your question, I have it.

I recommend Scribus as a free alternative to MS  Publisher but if you only want more simple functions then open office. I use Scribus at school and think its very good. However, it was running on Linux OS and ive never tried the windows version. Wouldn't have thought there would be any difference though.

Uh Oh.  Maybe you better try going back to Microsoft and downloading the earlier non beta version.  I haven't heard any positives about this one.  Also run a spy scan in safe mode.
