Office [Alternatives to - for emergency use]

Hi,
My younger brother thought it would be a fun prank to uninstall office for me, and now I can't find the install cd.
I need it to write a report, that is due on Tuesday for finals at college.

Does anybody know of a free alternative, even if its like a 30 day trial, that I can use to finish off the report?

Especially if you know of some documentation, that would really help

Thanks, I feel like such a newbie not knowing what to use,

nick1986 - Welcome to the Board

Please observe Posting Rules #3 - Meaningful Title - I have adjusted your title.

Try Open Office - free and compatible with MS Office

This might violate rule #7, but I recently wrote a website as a school senior project (big 300 hour project that we need to graduate) that covers how to use some free software products, such as openoffice.

please forgive me for sharing this, but it might be what he's looking for, and I would think that that should be acceptable in that case

This ones free.

This one costs $39.95.

Both can read and save documents in MS Office formats. My daughter used Open Office for a while in college. Eventually she went back to MS Office only because that's what they had in school and she was familiar with it. She said Open Office did work for her however.
