Instead of Microsoft Office try...

OpenOffice.org

With the price of Microsoft Office 2007 running in the hundreds, and the ribbon format not user-friendly, it's good to know you have other options. Open Office mimics the format of older versions of Microsoft Office so it is extremely familiar and functions in the same fashion.

The Open Office package includes a word processor (titled Writer), PowerPoint alternative (Impress), spreadsheet (Calc), and a program similar to Paint titled Draw.

Pros: No ribbons, compatibility with Microsoft Office 2000- 2007
Cons: Users have to remember to save in Microsoft Office compatible formats
User Level: Beginner to Expert
