It would be nice if they would allow me to get my Office programs my way (like on a Whopper) instead of packaging programs in a group that they think will be useful.
I'm trying to update my Office programs, but the only way to get what I want is to either buy them separate or buy the Ultimate which is too expensive and has programs that I don't want or need.
Bah!!!!
Random thoughts about single parenting, parenting, homeschooling, dealing with chronic illness, going back to college, working while trying to survive...just every day stuff. Just stuff that plagues me during the course of my day. Probably nothing of lasting interest to anyone but me.

But Melinda -- they won't make as much money if they do that!

What Jeff said -- if they only packaged what gets used, how would they make money off the other stuff?
Yes, I know they won't make money if they don't bundle the programs they way they do.
I have decided to forgo having one of the programs I had wanted. I am now the proud owner the updates I wanted as well as a couple extra programs I did not want. *lol*
Thanks for stopping by and commenting :)
Have you ever tried OpenOffice? It's an office suite that does everything MS Office does -- you can even save documents in MS Office format (.doc, .xps, .pps). And of course, it opens all MS documents. The only thing it doesn't have is a desktop publisher like MS Publisher.
The best part? It's free! It's what I've used for years, and I love it.
Go to openoffice.org and download it -- see if you like it.
Thanks for the suggestion Jeff. I have used Open Office in the past. My problem is that it's not compatible with most transcription platforms that I will be working with upon graduation.
The program (OneNote) that I decided to forgo was really a fluff program for me personally.
Again thank you for the suggestion.
