    Well, if it says that your shopping cart is empty, then you are trying to download a program that is not free. Perhaps you chose the wrong file?

    open office http://www.openoffice.org/

    does more.. works better.. supports ALL professional and commercial formats (unlike the M$ locked down proprietary non interoperable formats).. and IS FREE

    Ahoy ye matey, go with the suggestion of the sweet lass there, she knows the truth to the matter, I use this when I'm working with Mandriva Linux, Open office is very workable, and less bloatware than the whole Micro$oft office suite. I tried the link and it works, just need to follow thru with the registration process.

    Does it need registering these days?.. Comes with debian sooo.. never needed to register mine, but spose being informed of updates and new features is good.

    We really should thank Sun more for this wonderful free office suite. Impress especially is just so much better than any microsoft offering.. Try changing the order of a slideshow in powerpoint.. then do the same with impress.. Impressed?.. you will be ;)

    Nah, the MicroSux site wants you to register so they can spam you into buying the program. OpenOffice is still free and annonny as well.
