I don't have Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word, what should I do?
If you don't have Microsoft Office, or Microsoft Word installed on your PC or Mac, don't worry - you can
still use our products. You can get a free alternative from
Open Office.
Open Office Org is open-source developed alternative to Microsoft Office,
developed by a large software company called Oracle. Open Source means the company who build the software,
allow 100% use of it, 100% free.
Since Open Office is specifically developed to be exactly the
same as Microsoft Office, with all the same programs in the suite (Eg: Word, Excel, Access and Power Point)
- it will freely open any Microsoft Office file-format. Meaning, just because a document was written in
Microsoft Word, doesn't mean it can't be opened in another program. Open Office will do that, and vise versa.
To download and install Open Office;
- Go to
www.openoffice.org.

Icon to the Applications Folder in Finder, drag the icon to the Applications folder to install the program.
