Buying Microsoft Word
DH has just got a new laptop and needs word, it will only be used occasionally so we weren't wanting to pay a fortune for a big package which will be mostly not used. He's tried Libra but stuff he has sent to me (a mac user) has not transferred well for editing and returning. I have googled where to buy word and it has come up with some cheap ones but I am worried they may not be safe, does anyone know of a legit way of getting it cheaper? The student/teacher licence isn't possible as we've tried it and neither is the one which some companies can get through work. Can anyone help?

I would recommend using Google Docs as a free alternative to Word. It is compatible with word files and all you need is a Gmail email account.
Also as it is using cloud storage you still have access to the files from any device as it is stored in your Google account. |

If you go for office 365 personal, it’s £59.99 a year or £5.99 a month and you can cancel at any time after the year.
See here for more details: microsoft/en-gb/p/of...%3aoverviewtab You can also install on up to 5 devices I think, including tablets and mobiles. |

Thanks for your help we will look at these both
I did see this and considered it as there is a free trial but once you stop paying you can't edit your documents. Me and DH are working on a short-term project together so only need word for a short while so it is not worth paying for a year for say two months (if that) use, thank you for the suggestion though |
