| 1336530 | 2013-04-12 23:11:00 | I am giving an old laptop to a young friend of ours but she needs MS Office. She has no money so I thought I would look at a free version. Which is the best to install please? (OS is Win Vista SP2) Thanks Ken |

If you had the Paid version of Kingsoft which is a lot cheaper than MS Office its is so close to MS Office with the Ribbon you would hardly notice the difference. In the past I have also had a play with Libre office, its OK but the above mentioned work more Like MS Office. |
