    If there is a way, such a download of Microsoft Word is illegal. Microsoft doesn't give away their product. If you download it from anyone other than Microsoft, you'll be a criminal.

    Also, those answerers who tell you where to download it are breaking community guidelines by promoting illegal activity.

    There is an equivalent product that is free and legal. Try OpenOffice Suite from http://openoffice.org/ and download for your platform - Windows, Mac, Linux, makes no difference. It's like getting the whole Microsoft Office Suite for free - and is actually more compatible with all versions of Microsoft formats than Microsoft suites are with each other.

    Amazing - but quite true. Ask anyone who's tried to send Word documents from 2007 to owners of earlier versions of Word - or any Word version to those not owning that "newer" version. The fix is to download OpenOffice.org - which will load and edit and print ANY version of Word.

    Good luck!

    s don't expire. You can print and save your files to your computer even though you're using your web browser. The URL below has links to many free products that compete against Microsoft Office, including open source OxygenOffice and NeoOffice (both of these are better than OpenOffice), Google docs, AppleWorks and others. Be real. Compatibility of the alternatives with Microsoft Office can be pretty bad if you do more than just simple stuff. None of the alternatives offer VBA add-in support, for e

    That cannot be done legally. Perhaps you would like to try Open Office. It is designed to be almost exactly the same as Microsoft Office and Word. It will edit files created by Word and will create files that can be edited by Word.

    Download Open Office for free at: http://download.openoffice.org/

    sometimes you can find a trial offer or something.

    but I suggest you use Open Office.

    Its totally safe, has all the features of Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access) programs, plus some other that can be helpful!

    Its made by sun Microsystems.

    also, you can save all your stuff as a microsoft file so you wont have trouble opening it on other computers or sending stuff to people that use office.

    Its really great, and its FREE!!!!!!

    Well,I dont think so. If you did it would be illegally. There are some programs who can imitate it, but the best is to get a technician to fix it.
