Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Someone at work linked me to this: http://www.theultimatesteal.co.uk

If you're a student or teacher in the UK, you can buy Office 2007 for £40 which is a pretty good price. You have to do it before 30th April though.

Or I can get it for the low low price of my soul. Decisions, decisions.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

How is this "old" when it's an offer only available in April :confused:

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

I got this ages ago man, like at the beginning of the year

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Is it just me, or is the new word really confusing when you are used to the old word (word2003) ?

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Yeah it confused me at first (I've got it on my school laptop) but once you get used to it it's a better product - in my opinion!

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

This is a sad day for us all :(

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

I just talk to my good friend KaneED now :)

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Does cat know you spend 90% of your free time not spent with her playing WoW?

I think she should be informed.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

She has a pretty good idea of how much of a nerd I am, yeah :(

She's going travelling in 3 days for 4.5 months, so I can give WoW my full attention... my true... love...

Oops!

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

...your subscription?! :(

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Don't upgrade. It's pointless.

Install the MS update for whatever version of office you are using so you can access the horror that is .docx file format and rest in the calm peace that comes from not using 2007's stupid ribbon interface.

Also, are Microsoft in cahoots with the publishing and training industry? "Hey guys, we've changed the interface again - time for the seventh edition of An Introduction to Microsoft Access et al!"

Did I mention that the European Computer Driving Licence certificate is a course in how to use Microsoft office? And the students taking the course then buy the books which are filled with screenshots detailing Miscrosoft's office's ever-changing interface, which are thus updated every two years or so?

These people will definitely be first against the wall.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

...or just make sure that the default "Save" version is Office 2003-2007?

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Gosh! The idea of Microsoft being a business organisation, interested in profits and turnover! The horror!

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

You'll eventually need to open .docx files.
It's the idea that it's a monopoly.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

I still use office 2003 ... but there is this programme that you can download that lets you read .docx files. Its pretty handy when you're students send you word docos in the newest format that you cant read otherwise.

:)

Cant remember what its called, though. Google will have it, no doubt.

Like he said, it's an official plugin, released by Microsoft:

I only just noticed how kind you are Ultimate Newbie

How very sweet of you to remember British casualties in your sig.

Your nice gesture almost tempts me to teach you the difference between your and you're

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Isn't there a way to make it look like older versions of Microsoft Office?

That's what I do everytime I get a new version of Windows. Make it look like Windows 95.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

The Ode isnt used for remembering british casualties on ANZAC day, that would be rememberance day in November (techinically, all casualties from all wars).

You can thank me for enlightening you later. I know that, deep down, you already apreciate it.

That's fair; i was going to say something else but didnt. Good thing that GD has you as the grammar police! What would we do without yahwe? Useless for everything else, clearly!

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

I don't see how you can appropriate part of a poem dedicated to the dead of another political entity and pretend it's about your country.

It seems to me like a pretty desperate attempt to prop up an illusiory concept of a nation - which is not inherently wrong, merely silly. But it crosses the boarder into offensive when you steal the patriotism of other nations and pass it off as your own - can't you just lie outright?

And by the way it's not an ode

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode

You're starting to make my eyes bleed - even a pretend nation ought to teach its citizens to punctuate.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

I didnt, you idiot.

Its not, you idiot.

It isnt, you idiot.

So what? Its still called an Ode.

Given that Gallipoli was a WW1 battle, this is fair useage. Further, it makes no reference to "British" soldiers only - the best intepretation would be that it mourns all fallen, irrespective of nationality.

And i enjoy every seconds of it.
:P

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

then why quote it for your asnac day?

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Firstly, its not "my" ANZAC day. Further, i dont know what "asnac" is, but clearly your inability to spell is comedy.

Assuming you're talking about ANZAC day, then i quote it because that is what is said at the services around the country (and in New Zealand).

I refuted all your lofty airs of pretension by pointing out that pretty much everything you said was incorrect.

Deal with it.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

So .... by your logic when I now say "no you didn't, you idiot" you will have some sort of breakdown because of the brilliance of my retort.

aces

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

No, that would be by your logic, not mine.

Alas, i wish that retort was brilliant enough to warrant a mental breakdown... it would have been something entertaining to do :(.

Re: Students/Teachers: Microsoft Office 2007 Offer
 

Oh by the way, joke's on me.

I tried to buy this yesterday (nothing like leaving things until the last minute...) and found I couldn't buy it as my school e-mail address ends in .sch.uk, not .ac.uk!

Sucks to be me!
