No Microsoft Office

Post by Firefly »

I bought a new computer a few months ago, a Lenovo. I assumed that 'Office' would come with the package, but it appears not, ( sulk ). Is there a free download that is safe does anyone know please ?

Thanks

Jackie

RW,

Many thanks for that. I tried today but was stumped by 'operating system' ? It is indicating windowsx86 whatever that is, help !

What options did you get?

If you have the choice between Windowsx86 and Linux, then you will want Windowsx86.

LibreOffice is good - though I got used to OpenOffice which is another free package that comes with mostly everything MS Office has.

Also people may not be aware but if you really want it then you can use Microsoft Office online for free including Word
- all you need is to register for an account: https://www.office.com/

Cheers
