Try OpenOffice (free!!!) before you fork out for MS Office.

If you or someone you know work for the NHS, you can get MS Office pro for £17, allegedly.

S'not much help if you don't though

I'd second the move to OpenOffice. My wife has been using it for 2 years now after I converted her from MS Office which she'd used for years. At first she needed a bit of help to find some things but she now finds it second nature. An example being page format settings:

1. MS Office: File - Page Setup
2. OpenOffice: Format - Page

In my opinion, Format-Page is much more consistent because that is where you will find all the other Format stuff like Format-Paragraph.

PC Pro magazine gave OpenOffice a review a year or two ago and actually placed it above MS Office 2003 in their "A-List". I think there must have been some political fallout from this because they later created a separate category for "Personal" office suite and "Business" office suite and these are now filled by OpenOffice and MS Office resp.

Cheers,
Craig.
