old versions downloadsCan you download old versions of microsoft office for free?

I need the programs (word, powerpoint, excel, etc.) for school but I can't buy them myself since I'm 15 and I don't want to ask my parents to buy office if I can get it for free. Is there anywhere I can download old versions of it to use for free, that aren't trials?
Unfortunately there are no free downloads of MS Office available, only trail versions. :(

But if you are looking for something free and just as good as MS Office, you should try SSuite Office for a free office suite. :)

No trials, no registering your personal information, no strings attached at all. Just free office software. :D

Microsoft dos not offer old copies of Office for free. I recommend a trip to the school's library and ask the librarian this question. There are many free alternatives to Microsoft Offold versions downloadsice, but to say any of them are as good is a flat out lie. Just the same, you can make do with them if you can't get hold of the real thing.

There's a big list of alternative products here:


Although OpenOffice has the loudest supporters, IBM's Symphony is also worth considering.

The list is a bit out of date, as it does not include skydrive.com, a free on-line suite of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications. Like all the web-based Office alternatives including Google, it has only a tiny fraction of the features of real Office:

Hi Kyle,

You cannot download older, full versions of Office for free. However, there is a great Office giveaway contest going on right now on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Why don't you enter one of the contests? The prize is a free copy of Office 2010 Professional!

you can get the newest version for free if you know where to look, but is it legal? no. will you get in any trouble if you do get it in an illegal way? not likely. i'm not saying you should though.
old or not...ms wont give u anything for free....if they say they're giving it for free, its probably a conspiracy n shud run like hells broken loose!!

either get the latest office from you-know-whr or use open source alternatives like open office....
No, old versions of Office are not free.
