Where can I get Microsoft Office cheaply?

[Arthur]

Though he would still have to download it and that is the issue here.

Hmmm I'm sure his ISP just doesn't stop working for the month when he hits 2gb. If it does then he wants to change ISP's.

If it's going to cost him a couple of quid for an extra gb then that is a damn site cheaper than buying even an OEM version of Office.

Or he could even just order a version on disk
