Trying my darndest to purchase MS Word 2007 - MTtoo
Posted: Jul 13, 2011
Ok.. I have a job offer but have to purchase MS Word 2007. Do I need the home/student version or the office version? What does everyone else use? And yes, I'm a dummy.
Just Word? - ke

Then I would just get the student one. It includes PowerPoint, Word, Excel and OneNote. And it is definitely cheaper!
May not be compatible - Key

you should check with the company because it may not be compatible with their platform. The student version doesn't work with everything. I would check before buying anything. And if you already have word 2003 then you just need to buy the upgrade to Word 2007 and it can be downloaded via internet. Hope this helps.

Yeah.. I finally calmed down enough to e-mail the recruiter and ask if the home/student version would be okay. I don't have 2003, either because at my old job, I didn't need anything like that, so I feel I'm groping in the dark. I'm excited to be going back to work, but this is kinda bumming me out.
Staples doesn't even have 2007; Amazon has 2 left..

Student version is fine! Now I just have to find it. I'm so excited to actually be working again.
I appreciate all the replies. If anyone has any leads to purchase.. I'll appreciate it.
I would check EBay... that where I bought mine - lou

I had word 2007 and it all of a sudden did not work and could not figure it out. It was the student/home version with excel, word, powerpoint. I ended up buying word 2003 and I can use it for both jobs, the Pro edition... make sure you know if it is Pro or Student version. I've always had good results with the few times I have used EBay and most times the shipping is free.
Hi!
I need to purchase this software to start a new MT job immediately. It cannot be the trial or the student version. I am wondering if anyone else has had to purchase this recently? I am hoping to find a discounted one somewhere, and I'm hoping someone might have a ligit link??
Thanks!! ...
I just need MS Word 2013....but everywhere I look all I see available are "download only" or "no media" or key card only, no disk. I'm worried about getting a copy with no disk. Has anyone ever found a place to purchase Word with a disk for a reasonable price? Or have you had luck with just the downloaded version? Downloaded versions are usually in the $60 to $80 range. Thanks for any advice! ...
Need to buy MS Word for my new job. However, when I purchased the 2007 version online it was an "academic version" only. Can't use that. I guess I have to buy a newer version, like 2010 or 2013, but it seems like the only way to do that is via download and then you pay a subscription of ??? per month or year? This is fine by me IF the company will allow that. I just want it to be legal and a licensed full version...obviously the one I purchased online was NOT.& ...
Hello,
My company uses Word 2007 with Enterprise Espress Editor. When we receive our documents in speech the physical exam is in a format where all the headers are one right under each other and we need to put it in a paragraph format.

GENERAL:
This is an alert white male in no distress.
VITAL SIGNS:
Blood pressure is 120/70. Heart rate is 68. Weight is 212 pounds.

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 ...
I recently started working at home using Word 2007. I have put all of my shortcuts into the autocorrect feature and this has worked out wonderful for me and I am not looking to change that.
I do, however, need to find out how to BACK UP/SAVE that file!!! I don't know what I will do if I lose all of this information!
I have thought of trying Carbonite Backup, but I'm sure there is a cheaper way!
TX ALL! ...
Anyone use Microsoft Word 2007? I am having a horrible time finding out how to set up autotext. If anyone knows, can you walk me through it. I prefer the 2003 edition, but must upgrade..........Thanks!!! ...
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 ...
Are most MT employers using Using Word 2007 or Word 2003?

Does anyone have an idiot-proof (read: computer illiterate) way to disable the F1 key in Microsoft Word 2007? I use F2 to jump to different spots in the report and always end up hitting F1 instead, which brings up the Microsoft help box. So annoying!! Any help with this one is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! ...
I just started a new job. I will be typing EKG reports. I have to print the EKG interpretation on the EKG paper, which needs to be vertical on the paper at the top so I don't print over the EKG part. How do I set up through Word to print it to come out on the side since the paper goes in like a regular?
Also, I need to make signature blocks at the bottom of letters. Instead of typing the same thing over and over, how can I make this so I type a couple letters and ge ...
Hello,

Thanks in advance. ...
Does anyone know where I can get MS Word 2007 or 2010 CHEAP? The company I am hiring on with requires these versions. Can't be the student or home versions either. I have upgraded my computer to their requirements and that cost me an arm and a leg and now I need to get the correct MS Word program installed. I simply can't afford much. I've been without work too long in this rapidly declining profession I've been in for 30 years. I'm ki ...

I need to purchase this online with an instant download but all the different sites are so confusing and I'm afraid to get scammed. Has anyone ever had to download this and where did you get it from? Help please! ...
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?

Shut down PC and when restarted the blue box is still there.. what function key(s) would I do to make it go away, drives my eyes batty ...
I have MS Word 2010, but all the jobs I have applied for require Word 2003 or 2007. How can I change my version of Word (I am assuming I would have to buy MS Word 2003 or 2007)? Or is it possible to have two versions on my computer? ...

I used Word 2003 autocorrect feature (Ctrl+E) to add entries into the autocorrect. It doesn't work with Word 2007. Does anyone know if there is another function key for this in 2007? I'm talking enter "wnl" and it expands to "within normal limits", all done while in the document and not having to go into the tools and options menu. ...
I have been working in DQS and I need to take my DQS expansion list and import it into Autocorrect in Word 2007. So far I have put my expansion list into the Word 2007 program itself as a document, but I can't figure out how to get my expansion list into Autocorrect and I don't want to have to type each one in one by one, as it is a very long list. Does anybody know how this can be done? Thanks. ...
I do this every couple of months, but every time I have to really think about it So can anyone tell me where the written instructions are on backing up my Autocorrect entries? ...
