Prices have crept up since my post 3yrs ago, but still cheap. My personal fav is Office 2019 because you own it and it's not a subscription service like Office 365. I'm obv not responsible for who you choose but there's a company called pckeys (.uk) who've been around for a while, I got a copy of Visio from them about 18months ago and it was all legit, and they're still in business so that's another +ve.Emmson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 12:21 amruthlessimon wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2017 7:56 pm.. & if you're a little cunning, there are plenty of 'tutorials' on youtube that might be able to help you outCurrently exploring and researching this.

I don't think I've ever paid more than £15 for any version of windows or office and they've always passed the Microsoft validation process just fine. They're usually licences from de-comissioned office PCs.
Does BA only work with Microsoft Excel or alternatives?

Life's a punt Emmson, what's my discount vs the %chance of being ripped off. I got about 80% off the first time and figured I was about 50/50 for being taken, but I must have bought about half a dozen things in the last 10yrs so my mug-factor risk feels more like about 12/1 now.
You can't escape probablity in every part of your life once it's just 2nd nature.
I've actually made more progress on Excel this week than ever before thx to a free course from Udemy, Macros will soon be visible on the horizon.
