Microsoft Word and Excel don't seem to be on my Windows install CD Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 8:54 pm Posted by gewg_ (3925 messages posted) |had to put windows 98 back on |how can i put word and [excel] back on | jladika http://www.google.com/froogle?q=Microsoft-Office OpenOffice.org is gratis and libre and is a replacement for most of Microsoft Office. If you need Visual Basic macros, Noel Power has created a fork of OOo that does those. OpenOffice.org has a reputation for being able to open Old M$ Word documents --which new versions of Microsoft’s products WON'T open properly. (It’s called “Backwards Compatibility” and Microsoft doesn’t care about it.)
