Seriously though, you are asking for something that is at least as good,
or better than, a commercial monopolised product. Not only do you want
it for free, you even want _them_ to pay to have it put on a CD and sent
to you.

Have a look at applixware and staroffice though, and see what your uni
and your friends have lieing around on CD.
