Sheesh! Well found, thanks Neil. Still a hefty price just so I can keep compatability from work to home (home I use OO)!!

Thanks for the link!

If you have a student in the family you can have a look at software4students.

Home and Student edition of the suite is only around £60.

It's a little bit more, but still cheaper than just excel, although I'm sure I've seen it around £60 before.

The key-card versions are even cheaper - but I'm not sure whether or not they need the Starter edition to still be installed - and if you can easily get hold of that.

Last time I tried, Open Office rendered the first .doc file I opened differently to Word. For a WYSIWYG editor, this isn't good

It might be worth enquiring with your employer if they're in the MS Home User Program. I got a copy of Office 2010 Professional for less than £20 through HUP.

some volume licence agreements let employers have it for free for the duration of employment (i.e. - when you leave that company the licence is void)

Thanks for the replies peeps! Appreciated!!

The mrs may be able to get student editions.

I already have OO but they arent compatible enough. They do very similar things and I like OO alot, but there are some minor differences and I need to ensure everything I see at work looks and operates as it would at home!

cheeeeeeers
