buying Word /Office for student - please help

[gingeroots]

Ok ,we have Open Office but Ds does coursework ,school computer converts into Word which he then can't edit back home .
So was thinking would buy Word - looking on line but getting confused .
Can find this www.software4students.co.uk/Microsoft_Office_2010_Professional_Plus-details.aspx?gclid=CMmv0ZD3wacCFcod4QodJTglAg
but would that be ok ?
Amazon have some that say Product Key code
only - ?
We have a Dell laptop which seems to have Microsoft Office Word 2007 loaded ,but needs a Product Key .
We have only one machine and would ( according to DS ) need Excel for data handling and drawing graphs .
Any advice gratefully received ....

yes have excel, access, word, powerpoint and a few other things.

ok - I'll need to look again .
There was a list ,but I only downloaded one thing .
Thanks for putting up with my denseness !

i only downloaded ms office didn't have time to do the others but it should all be there - have you looked in the folder

where do I find the folder ??
I've got the Word icon thingy and I click on that and it opens .
But I can't see any folder ?

if you click start then all programs down bottom left it should bring it up

Oh wow - I see !
Yes it's all there - and more .
Thank you so much ,good old mumsnet .

great! it's so good - i can actually open all my office attachments now without converting

Hooray! I would just like to say a big thank-you for this thread. DH is a Phd student, but before Xmas the laptop died taking his copy of Word/ Office with it. He was then using a Trial version which expired so was looking for the software but it's so expensive (my work supposedly do a Microsoft "home use program" but it's only for staff with access to external email)

He'd seen the software 4 students site, but felt it was a bit too good to be true.

It's great - easy to install ,no problems .
Spread the word ( ha ha ,pun ! )
