Where does someone buy MS Word Professional 2007 - anymore?

Posted: Oct 25, 2014

It seems like it is impossible ????

Looked on ebay and Amazon. The only thing I see is a home use only version, a student version, etc. Is it even possible to buy this by itself anymore? Sigh.....

Most companies require you to have this or 2010 (which I can't find either), but how do they expect us to have it when it's so difficult to find?

Can anyone help?

Several companies have MS Office 2010 - sm

Several companies have MS Office 2007 and 2010. Word is included in that.

A lot of MTs on this site have lamented that they know nothing about the rest of MS Office software, like Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint. They go looking for a job and quickly discover that they cannot meet the qualifications for even the most basic secretarial and administrative jobs because of that.

Do yourself a favor and get the most recent edition your company uses and spend some time learning and using the other software it contains.

I wonder what you were using up to now. If you had a legitimate copy of Word on a previous computer you should have the download key.

That is good advice and so true.... - Kiki

I used to work for MM and didn't use or need Word. I had a class when I went to college in the mid 90s, but that's the extent of my Word experience. I guess it's going to bite me in the butt now, as now I want to find a job away from MM. I hope it's fairly straightforward to use. And I am going to take your advice and consider getting Office--I wasn't sure if the Word included on that would be acceptable (as in the "Professional" edition that most companies seem to demand). Thanks again for the advice. Since we all will probably sooner or later end up OUT of this field--you are so right--we should be familiar with all of those programs.

I just answered this question in your below thread - sm

It's used but it will do....

better have a LEGIT product key - anon

Kiki, you do NOT buy "used software" off Ebay. Better be a trusted seller and you have BETTER HAVE A LEGIT product key. You get that disk, and enter the code and it don't work -- you are SOL! BUYER BEWARE!!!

I have purchased software from this seller w/o problems in the past...... - Kiki

I am well aware of the risks of buying used software in general. However, I have 30 days to return it (e-bay guarantee) and if that key code doesn't work you better believe I'm returning it.

Ebay suggestion sm - acuteMLS

Check out seller "microsoftdirect" with almost 400 positives, 100%. I tried to find my seller, he is no longer selling the office products. I would go with this one, only $92 for BIN

I bought Office 2007 for $115 from Ebay with legit key. Read sm - acuteMLS

reviews. If they're a software seller, many reviews will comment on the key and the fact it worked or whatever.

Another link for Office 2007 - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Another link for 2007 $24.99. You pay for the product key then have to download the software.

I'd rather have the disk....Besides.... - Kiki

[ In Reply To ..]
I had thought someone on here recommended NOT getting the download, only the disk--to install it on your computer. In any case, I finally found Office 2007, more than the $24.99, but it has all those other programs on it that I can try to learn for a new job when the inevitable time comes when this MT "career" crashes and burns.

Hello, My company is using Word 2007 and we just decided to change the way we format our office visits. Instead of listing the medications in a paragraph form with commas after each medication we are listing them in a column and numbering them. Our problem is that when we get the dictations in our speech format they are in a paragraph. Is there a way of converting the paragraph to a column so they can be numbered or do we have to just do them individually? Thanks, Glenn ...

Mar 22, 2010

I recently upgraded to Office 2007. I previously utilized both Autocomplete and Autotext. Using Autocomplete in conjunction with Autotext allowed me to not have to memorize as many hot keys. Well, as many of you probably know, Word 2007 no longer has the Autotext function. It has been replaced with Building Blocks, which to my understanding, requires you to create hot keys for the entries. My question is, does anyone know of an add on for Word that can be bought (o ...
