Have I got a deal for you!
One of the greatest secrets in Microsoft’s catalog is the Student and Teacher Edition of Office 2003. You qualify for this software if you or any member of your household is a full-time or part-time teacher (K-12 or any accredited educational institution), a full- or part-time K-12 student, or a full- or part-time college student taking at least six credit hours. That’s a pretty broad standard of eligibility, and you don’t have to fill out any forms, show any ID, or jump through any hoops to qualify. Anyone can buy it, and anyone can install it.
The Student and Teacher Edition includes Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. It can be legally installed on up to three PCs. And best of all, it’s dirt-cheap.
Amazon sells this software for $125 with free shipping. That’s a smokin’ deal. For anyone currently using an older version of Office, this is a good excuse to upgrade. If you want to buy it from Amazon.com, use this link:
I make a few bucks that help offset the cost of keeping this Web site running.
Oh, and feel free to pick up a copy of Special Edition Using Microsoft Office 2003 Student-Teacher Edition, too. It’s new for 2006. Woody Leonhard and I provide a good overview for all four of the programs in this Office version. This ain’t no Dummies book!
