Hey Guys

Does anyone know were I can download a free version of Word?

Thanks

I don't know about a free version of Microsoft Word, but there is a free complete office suite called OpenOffice that is very similar (just not from Microsoft).

Or, if you just want a word processor, try AbiWord.

Same here. Heh. Is this like one of those ManBeef or BonzaiKitten sites?

Oh, and winnipegtwister, I suggest checking out AbiWord. It just might suit your needs.

No it's not. Why do you say that?

Just seemed a bit hokey to me, so I wasn't sure if it was serious or not.

Yes it is serious. It's supported by Living Waters. Did you read what it said afterwards?

NOOO!
It's says I'm going to *censored*, but (not to offend anyone here) I'm aethiest, so I don't care that much.

Back on topic... should Microsoft have free versions of older versions of Word somewhere?

Personally, I prefer OpenOffice to MS Office any day, I intensely dislike MS Office.

I've read somewhere that Google also had a free office but I'm still searching for it.
Does some one know if there is one and so: Where?

Okay, I know this may be going off topic again, but is there any way to select multiple images in OpenOffice at the same time? I tried using Shift like in MS Office, but it didn't work.

It has nothing to do with the answer. If I believed in *censored*, I would surely agree that I'm going. Of course, I would agree that most people are going...but that's beside the point. I just wasn't sure if it was a joke site or not; kinda like the How To Tell If Your Teenager Is An Atheist site (anyone have a link?). But I see that's not the case here, so I apologize.

That's fine. I didn't think that anyone would get that impression, lol.

You cannot legally download a copy of Microsoft Word, except for an old DOS version. Period.
