Hiya all...
Don't know if you know about this - both my present and previous employers subscribed to this - bought Office 2003 from the one, Office 2007 from the other!
I know you can use OpenOffice from free, but this is a viable alternative if you need to go the MS route!
Office 2003 cost me R250, Office 2007 under R200... Was shipped from Ireland!
This is the e-mail you need to send tyo your IT dept - they need to get or register your company with MS:
