0. Go to ebay.
1. Search for "ms office 2003"
2. Pay pennies for the last good version of the software -- whose templates work perfectly well on later versions.

Recently bought a new PC.
I needed :
- a microsoft account (what for ??) that may, or may not, be used as a login to your machine to get Win10 ready.
- a 4-digit pin that you may, or may not, use as a password to login and/or as a quick admin password ??!! (ever heard of security, microsoft?). The link between this and the previous account is that you need the account to reset the 4-digit pin in case you want to change it, but otherwise ... none. The 4-digit was the default, but after some research, I could create a normal login with a real password.
- another microsoft account for installing office - no 365, never you'll get my things in the cloud - because the first one was not working for registration. It took me one day (!) to get microsoft to accept the license I bought, since the online registration portal is a nice POS and it is damn hard to find in your freshly installed unlicensed ms office version a way to enter the license, had to use MSDOS sysinternals to help, otherwise it kept telling I need to register without providing a way to register.
WTE ? 2 accounts, 4 different passwords (2 microsoft accounts, one "real" login for the PC, and this sh*tty 4-digit PIN). How do computer illiterate people deal with this sh*t ?

Heck, I consider myself literate and I still gave up. Remoted in to my PC at home where I have Office 2010, copied the files over I needed to change, changed them, copied them back. While the manager laughed when he saw what I was doing, I saved the company $150 for a "student" license simply to edit a docx file that will never be edited again. Normally, I just use OpenOffice here at work. Yes, we do have people with actual Office licenses, but for what I needed to do, I didn't need it.

I agree, he kneads to do better if he's going to rise to the occasion.

Such good contempt is wasted on me. You would not believe what[^] those guys in Texas made innocent younger me drink. Lynchburg, the name says it all.
