Hey all, I need Microsoft Excel to use for uni work, but I have Works programs instead of Office programs. Does anybody know where I can get a cheap Office Edition, or even just Excel for really cheap, as im a poor as uni student.

Would the university have these programs on offer for free? If I cant get Excel on its own, id take Powerpoint as well, as this is what my lecture notes for my courses are put onto.

Thanks in advance.

Try OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/

Completely free and compatibility with Excel (and Office) files is quite good. Depends on exactly what you use Excel for really.

Unlikely - don't go to the coop bookstore and buy them at educational prices either, still more money than you can afford to spend.

I agree with the above by sunny, look for a non-costly solution that's probably less frustrating :)

The office suite isn't part of MSDNAA at CSE.

Newcastle Uni isn't part of MSDNAA.
