Office 2003 Academic Professional RW

kielaaron,

According to Microsoft's listing here there is no such edition, but the contents of all available editions are presented.

kielaaron,

If you're buying a laptop for school (college?), you may want to check out your new college bookstore's web site to see if they offer any deals on Microsoft Office.  I know at any University of Texas campus you can buy Microsoft Office Pro (as you stated -- not the Student/Teacher edition) for $12.  And that's a full copy.  But you have to sign an agreement, show a student ID, and a current class schedule, and you can only purchase one copy throughout your entire academic career there.  Your college may have a similar agreement with Microsoft.  Worth a look.  My son just waited with his new XPS system until he got his schedule his freshmen year to get his software.  My daughter's Texas college, however, is not part of the UT system and did not offer the same savings.  We got the Student/Teacher edition for her.   I believe that in Texas only UT and Texas A & M offer this price. 

Thanks! 

I'll definitely look into this program here at OU.  I'm about to graduate, and trying to get in my last digs as an official student.

Good luck at OU.  Several of my students have gone there and loved it.  Happy software hunting and make sure to read all about the network arrangements that you'll be hooking up to if you're living in a dorm.  Can sometimes be a nightmare.  Make sure to keep your antivirus up to date.  Your computer will become your lifeline in college, so you don't want to be without!

oh indeed.  i'm about to graduate from OU.  i did my dorm time in 01-02, before internet restrictions and what-not.  i used the heck outta kazaa that year!

anyway, i'm takin my new 6000 to san francisco for my big job as a corporate architect.  tryin to figure out what's in that software 'cause i rely so heavily on publisher for just about every bit of my portfolio work...  need an updated outlook as well.

Ah, good luck in the work world.  Check out the OU bookstore for peripheral Microsoft software, too.  Publisher is a steal at $5 (through UT).  A lot of designers are going into InDesign, though, so you might want to take a stab at figuring out that nifty piece of software.  While you're still a student, you can get Adobe products at a discount through campustech.com.  You can get the entire Creative Suite for around $375 (a tremendous savings over their list of approx. $1100).  All the best in the future :)
