hello,
i wonder if this can happen> i don't have microsoft office with me....except ms word 97, but i'd like to have excel, powerpoint, access, the basics...i only had ms word 97, when i bought a computer, and it was included with it and ms works.....i wonder if i can d/l it from microsoft or anything, even if i can provide them with a license number? and if i could, would it be free? thanks

Karen, Pretty much, no.
MS Office Standard does not come with MS Access. It is part of the Office Professional version. Standard includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
However, This link is offering MS Office Pro 97 for $69US unless it is just a come on ad. That is about the best price you will find.

Also, for $69 you do not get a manual with it.
You can find the standard version for about that same price with a manual. Yahoo's 47 search results

You can also try Open Office. Most of the apps are funtionally equivalent of parts of Microsoft Office. Free.

Open Office is *great*. It'll do nearly everything that most people need MS Office for. But if absolute compatibility is a must, you'll really need to invest in the Microsoft product.
ProSuite 602 a decent Freeware office suite too, with a really sharp photo editing app.
Happy shopping/downloading, -Bob
