    Hi All,

    I am looking for a [hopefully] inexpensive copy of MS Office Pro (due to various needs, I need Access along with Word/Excel/PPT). 2010, 2013 or 2016 are all options.

    Will NOT pay subscription.

    Anyone have a pointer where I could get an inexpensive copy?

    Thanks!

    Gramps...

    Moving to Somalia would make it virtually impossible to make it to any Blazer games. I'll have to rule this option out.

    Forget M$ Office, just use the free and compatible Open Office.

    If GB needs Access for anything serious, then I wouldn't recommend OO (in any case I'd recommend LibreOffice over OO if all you need is word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation components).

    I just googled ms office professional 2013 and it looks to be available from multiple sources for $129. I can't vouch for any of the dealers, but I'm with you on the subscription BS. Subscriptions seem to be the new maketing model, but I hate it.

    A lot of businesses participate in MS' Home Use Program (HUP). If you can find somebody with access to it, you can get Office Pro 2016 for $10 . . . *cough*
