    Try Microsoft Office 2010

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/try/

    Hit the "Try Now" button

    On the next web page, hit the "Try it Free" button below the "Buy Now!" button

    You will get an email for a bill of $0.00.

    You will also get a product code key.

    Mine is still downloading. I hope it works. Please let me know if this is a phishing site.

    I'm leary of this especially when I go to download and this is what the program is called:

    X16-57061_9HP32-77MQ3-MP6PW-623JJ-XY78G.exe

    I think I'm going to pass. Right now I use open office and Microsoft Works and have no problem with either one

    Microsoft Office has always been free to try, however the Microsoft link is

    http://www7.buyoffice.microsoft.com/...&culture=en-CA

    Not:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/try/

    Also if you want a free version of office (never tried it but know people that have) it's called "Microsoft Open Office"

    You made a small mistake; Open Office is not made by Microsoft but by a team of independent programmers (like Firefox, Ubuntu, etc).

    It is free to use (without any restriction) and available for any OS (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, etc)

    Word is part of office. If you want to have one that is free try the openoffice one posted above. I use it and it works fine.

    The .exe part of the program worries me as the front part looks like it could be a product key, but keys don't have .exe in them. Good that you decided not to open it just be safe until you verify its validity.

    Allow me to second this.

    I use it extensively. Entirely free and legal. Works like a charm.

    And it's even compatible with Word.
