I used to have a copy of Office Suite (word, exhell, PP etc) with a key embedded in it ......but I can't send it via Yahoo (too big) , besides that would be a blatant act of copyright infringement

OK I will outline this in steps. This is the most painless why to use ANY Microsoft program:

1) Go to local gun shop
2) Pick out any handgun the catches your fancy
3) Buy the handgun (don't forget ammo!)
4) After waiting period is over pick up gun and take it home
5) Load ammo into gun
6) **** the gun (remember your gun safety rules)
7) Place against computer tower and depress trigger
8) If necessary, repeat step 7 until ammo is depleted.

Psshaw, or download openoffice from openoffice.org ... neooffice is another.

Open Office is great, though. Compatible with all Microsoft stuff, and it's freeeeee!

I use openoffice because I'm too cheap to buy office. Pretty much same programs but have to admit openoffice pisses me off a lot of the time.
