Is there a way to safely download the newer version of Microsoft Word & Powerpoint for free? Where?

You can't get it for free. You can get a similar product called Open Office for free at http://openoffice.org. It will open and edit Word and PPT files although their program names are different.  But they work pretty well and look and feel like the Microsoft stuff you are used to. But if you want the actual Microsoft name on things and want it to be legal, you have to pay for it.

If you need templates and trial versions, see:  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/FX101321101033.aspx?pid=CL100570421033\n\nIf you want to download Microsoft Office free, you can't except for some trial versions.  A very good Microsoft Office alternative is OpenOffice.  http://www.openoffice.org

You mean real, full-featured software from MS Office?\nThere are download sites and file-sharing applications that may allow you to do this. But that's piracy. And not worth doing. \nEven if you did get a hold of a copy, what makes you think that the illegal software you download is free of backdoors, trojans, viruses, etc. Some computers come with a free copy of MS Word... Anyway, spend the money and sleep better at night.

You cannot get it for free. You have to pay for it. \n\nYou can get the Powerpoint VIEWER only program free from Microsoft. It lets you open and read PowerPoint files but not create new ones. Go to microsoft.com.

No way, I've looked....um not that I'd do anything illegal though..*cough** However, Open Office has a presentation program in their new suite that is compatible with Power Point, you can save your projects as Power Point files. It is a bit more difficult to use, has a few less features, but its the only free, Power Point compatible program I'm aware of. Just go to www.openoffice.org, download it. Its pretty big, but well worth the time.

Generally the newer versions are more secure and feature-filled, but I found www.oldversion.com which may contain what you're looking for. I haven't tried any of the downloads from the site, so be sure to scan the file for viruses/spyware before downloading.\n\nNOTE: At the time of this post, the site appears to be down.
