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.
On the left hand side, click 'I want to download Open Office'. In the green
box, click the main link which starts with 'Start downloading OpenOffice.org...'
Windows Only:When the program has downloaded, click Install and wait for the program to install.
MAC OSX Only:When the program has downloaded, a notification box will pop up with an arrow from the Open Office
Icon to the Applications Folder in Finder, drag the icon to the Applications folder to install the program.
You are now ready to use Open Office, and the documents you have purchased from us.
