microsoft office: I apologize if this is the silliest question to date, but I have a microsoft office 2003 CD - how can I install it on this computer since there's no DVD drive?

If you have vista on pc, on your pc: Open explorer -&gt; right click -&gt; share You might have to go to control panel -&gt; network -&gt;file sharing -&gt; to enable file sharing, etc On your netbook, Do a network scan on your netbook, find the hard drive, -&gt; then I think you can add the hardware as mapped drive. I make the assumption you know how to put both pc and netbook on the same network.

Basically, none. I had a CD with games on it and installed it. I downloaded Adobe Reader off the Internet. I had previously purchased MS Office Professional 2010 ... but would you believe Microsoft would not allow me to install from my CD??? I had to purchase a new key code from them (after purchasing the program for $400+), in order to use it on my new PC! Same with MS Money: my product key code was not "recognized", even though I had never installed it on my old PC!! So I bought Quicken. Norton 360 for 3 PC's was no problem, thank goodness!

no unless the product description indicates it's installed. I found an alternative to MS office with a search for "free MS Office download"

360 for a trial period. The new Microsoft Office can only be downloaded, no disks. I found Office 10 on Amazon and installed it. It works really well and I do not have to pay every year to use the office programs.

Mine didn't come with Microsoft Office pre-installed. It wasn't important to me since I can get the software through work for fairly cheap. Thanks!

There is no Microsoft Office installed, but it is available for purchase at the Apple Store and elsewhere. There are also alternative products that are available online free, such as Libre Office, Open Office and Neo Office.

Read my review. The way to do it without buying an external DVD drive is to set up a network. Here's step by step process: If you already have your computers set up for "home or small office network," 1) add your netbook to that network by going to My Network Places, and opening up the "Set up a home or small office network" on the left side. Make sure that the network name is the same. Follow instructions fully. You may have to reboot afterwards. 2) on the computer with the DVD drive, go to the My Computer and locate the DVD drive. right click on it and open "Sharing and Security..." Check "Share this folder on the network." 3) on the netbook, open the network and locate the DVD drive. 4) on the computer with the DVD drive, insert a program and stop install. 5) on the netbook, open the DVD drive, locate the "setup" file and run. That's it. If you don't have a set up network, you will have to set up the network for each computer with the same network name. Follow the above instructions for the rest. That's it.

I acquired this computer last Nov 1st. It came with a trial version of Office 2010 on it. A product key code could make it permanent or allow you to download any files needed to augment it to your version. Personally I already owned a dvd version of Office 2007, so I bought an external drive and used it to install it on my computer instead. So that route would work as well.

There is no disc or disc needed. Simply, go to Microsofts website and download the Excel software to your computer.

I bought the disk (DVD -- note) and loaded the software to my PC... installed it to the hard disk; I prefer the disk as when I change or upgrade PCs I can reload the software -- after telling Microsoft what I am doing so they don't think I am installing a single-license version on 2 PCs. Please note that it is a DVD and does not load thru a CD-ROM. MS Word 2010 is also the last version of Word that runs on XP SP3.. Be sure of what you are buying -- disk or download; see seller's comments on whether the box/package was opened or not -- that means disk. the Word 2013 version needs Windows 7 or 8 .... Jay

I used my desktop computer to copy the files from the Office install cd onto a flash drive. then used the flash drive to install Office onto the Wind. No problems--just open the setup.exe file.

I would invest in a DVD/CD USB drive for installation. Be sure to have all the drivers available on a flashdrive.

MS Office is readily available as a third party product and is fairly simple to install. It can be purchased with media kit or usually quite a bit cheaper as a download.

Office is pre installed but a trial version with option to purchase. No discs. No OS cd. It can be upgraded.

Hi....What is OS? Office Suite? right?A DVD making App....Let me look and I will get back to you. It has a lot of different apps and I don't use all of them. I had them add Microsoft office suite 2010 and norton antivirus they loaded it all up and switched my data from old computer into my new one. No new computers come with software anymore just the trials. I hoped this helps your decision. I'll let you know about DVD making app. Thanks.
