Curt:
Sorry if I made you expect an instruction on how to commit something dodgy, but a special title was needed to get your attention! This is indeed not about cheating, but about "free charity"; how to do good deeds without paying!

That's pretty good, [the offered version -2008] cannot handle MS's most recent formats but still a very good app

The upgrade to 2010 version [ which can handle MS's most recent formats] costs around $50 at the moment ($80 full price)

You probably meant that Softmaker Office 2010 does handle recent M$ files, as it claims to?

Quoting Softmaker's e-mail to me:

You are registered as a user of an older "free edition" of SoftMaker
Office.

A new version, SoftMaker Office 2010, is now available.

You can now upgrade to the full-fledged SoftMaker Office 2010 at
a hefty 50% discount. Until December 6, we also include a free 4
GByte USB flash drive and have slashed shipping fees to just 1 cent!

The USB flash drive comes with a portable version of SoftMaker
Office pre-installed. You can take this flash drive wherever you go
and run it on any Windows PC without any need to install it.

That's a good deal especially if you got in by 6th December.

yes, thanks rj, my post was unclear - I edited it (hopefully) for clarity


I took advantage of that offer (for a friend whos learning to use a pc!) - even got a comprehensive user manual, a rare thing these days!
The pre'installed' usbstick wouldnt work on windows 7 or XP (complained about being read only but is write-protected so cannot change... I can always format it and it's a 4gig kingston drive)
