Down loading office onto windows 7

[cuttsie 1,091]

Any tips on how to download an office section on to Windows 7? I thought that the system had one as an integral part of the system.

I need to write and save papers for a later date.

Cheers .

Under Accessories you have WordPad which is a Text Processor.

 

You may also like:

I would avoid any online stuff - the problems experienced in the Work environment would not want me to touch any 'cloud' services with a barge pole - keep it local, keep it free - so long as it does what you need, that is all that matters!

thank you for all the help, I am presently downloading open office.

The download has been running around 4 hours ,I have a full page in view with for example ,

open office Setup [2].exe plus a full page of similar blue writing.

underneath it says show in list and remove from list .

This has been running for around four hours. at the top of the screen is a notice with a half circle going round the word download.

does this download take a long time or have I cocked up some where.

Cheers.

4 hours seems a very long time.It is a while back when I downloaded it and I seem to remember it only took a few minutes.

Cheers I will start pressing buttons as I did not like to stop the procedure just in case.

LibreOffice and OpenOffice can take a long time to download - it might be easier and quicker if you went to https://ninite.com and download the installer from there.

The fact that you have [2] after it means you have downloaded it at least twice already.

 

Open office is t really worth the hassle - there is nothing wrong with the online version of office - you can save the output locally anyway.

Have a look in your control panel at the features and programmes to see if you have already downloaded it.

If you have a gmail or microsoft account, then you can work online, or else dowload office package from torrent.
