How to obtain Microsoft Office (for PCs)

You can get it from microsoft, in one of three ways:

1) You can use the 60 day free trial, available here:

2) You can buy the full version available for cheap to university students, here:

http://www.microsoft.com/student/office/en-us/default.aspx

For this, you will need your QC email, since it requires an email which ends in .edu. $80 is a pretty

good price for the full version of office.

3) For free, you can use Office Web Apps:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps/

These run in your web browser. Unfortunately, Microsoft Access is not included as a Web App, but

it does include PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.

You can get the data files you need for the exercise either by downloading it from Prentice Hall website:

or by bringing in a Flash drive to lab next time and copying the folder onto it.
