**Netbook** Microsoft office x

#1 Post by BettyBoop » Mon Dec 26, 2011 7:19 pm

Hi Guys,

I got a netbook off Santa to do my University work on. It doesnt have office on it and I really need word and excel for my assignments.
I am really skint and dont want to p*y for it :crying:
I know someone that has a disk I could lend to install it....but the netbook doesnt have a disk drive...it has a memory stick slot. I was wondering if anyone knew how to down load it?

I am not very techie...I was wondering if anyone could help please??
