Is Microsoft Word 2003 worth paying $109.99 for?
Hi. My name is Gary, and I have Microsoft Windows XP on a custom built
computer tower. The people that build my computer didn't install a recent version of Word on the hard drive, so I had to get an older version of Office 95 with Word 95 and put that on my computer. I've been using it ever since, but wanted to upgrade to a newer or recent version of Word. I was in the office supply stores and they have Microsoft Word 2003 for $109.99, and an "upgrade" for $200. Do I need to pay that much just for a program I only use for typing letters or other documents? I know I've got Wordpad and Notepad, but I like Word 97 or later better. Please help!!! Thanks! |

I would be rather suspicious of a price of $110 for Word; make sure it's not
an upgrade version. Currently, the most economical way to get Word is to get Word 2002 as part of Microsoft Works Suite 2006. -- Suzanne S.
