how can I get MS Office 2003 CHEAP? - SMTME


Posted: Dec 01, 2010

My new employer requires no higher than MS Office 2003, and I need to buy a computer - they all come with Office 7!  What do I do??

Have you tried eBay? That's where I got my BOS. - Or maybe "borrow" a copy from someone? nm

If so, you should have a CD with MS Office 2003 for re-installion purposes. I did, and put Office 2003 on my laptop with Vista.

Installing MSW 2003 on new computers - ICManiac

[ In Reply To ..]
Do NOT get Vista. If you can get it, get one with Windows XP as the operating system. Big Lots has a sale this week on refurbished computers (no monitor) for $179 with WXP.

MS Word 2003 may or may not install on Windows 7, but most likely will NOT install on Vista.

If you have trouble installing W 2003, you can download VMWare to install Windows XP as a second operating system and use it to launch Word 2003. I don't recommend Microsoft's Virtual Manager product for installing XP.

I got Word 2003 for $45 a couple of weeks ago and Windows XP for $59 last week on eBay.

Yes, 2003 does indeed install on Vista and Windows 7. - NM

Changing From Office 2007 To 2003 And How To Save Autocorrect For That.
Jun 12, 2011

I am currently running microsoft professional 2007 and will be changing to MS professional 2003 due to a job change.  I did some searches on how to copy my current auto-text (but sounds too confusing to me) and transfer to MS professional 2003.  Is there a way to do this that is not too complicated to explain?  Also, I do not have a flash drive, so can I copy this on a CD and then transfer to 2003.  Thanks for any help. ...


Question About Purchasing Microsoft Office 2003 Off Ebay.
Apr 22, 2012

I recently bought a laptop and need to at least install Word on it so I can use it for work, but I don't want to pay a fortune and would really prefer to install an older version of Word, i.e. 2003.  I looked on ebay and I see lots of Microsoft Office 2003 software for sell, but also see some confusing things like OEM versions being sold with a piece of hardware as per ebay and microsoft rules.  So I guess my question is if I buy OEM software with the corresponding hardware, can I ...

Need To Convert From Office 2013 To Office 2010
Apr 26, 2014

I'm starting with a new company next week.  My Windows 7 PC has Office 2013 Professional.  The new company's platform is only compatible with 2010 or earlier.  I don't have the money to spend on 2010, so I'll either have to decline the offer or try to find a way to install 2010 cheaply.  I thought I might be able to download a version for free, since it's not the newest version, but it doesn't look like I can do that.  Any ideas? ...

Cheap (or Free) Expansion Program?
Apr 25, 2014

I work full time for a company where I am on a platform with a built in expander program, but I recently started picking up jobs for a friend's company when she gets too busy and her staff can't keep up with it. All of the work there is done on Word and would be so much easier if I had an expansion program. The problem is, I don't want to pay $150 for a program that I only will use once or twice a month at most. Does anyone know of a program that is really cheap or free?  ...
