My free trial that I got with my new laptop a couple of months ago has just ran out at quite an inopportune moment. I've got an application I need to do for Thursday and I can't adjust any of my CVs or covering letters.

Does anyone know where I can get a free download of this, cos I ain't paying £177 for it! Are there any reliable versions available as torrents?

It is good Mr Swift, Office in all but name. Trouble is if you send you documents by e-mail, and the recipient doesn't have it, they obviously won't open. Fine for writing and printing at home though. :wink:

You can save the file as a .doc file though can't you?

Yes. Hand mr Wing Wang Wong a dunce's hat. :laugh: :razz: :razz:

You're more likely to have trouble from people sending stuff in the new .docx format that MS has imposed but nobody wants.

You're having a laugh right? sctatchinghead
"File" > "Save As" gives you a million options for saving it in different formats.
