I tried going through CHESS (asc.army.mil), but no luck.
The deal for 2019 edition for $20 ended a while back. Now it's a 30% discount on Office 365, that's still $70 for a year. Not bad at all, but cheaper is better. Any help?

I won't pay for annual subscription to a program which should be purchased one time for a fixed fee.

PFC Jeffrey Herrington - I still use the 2007 version because I am content with how it works. I won't upgrade because they stopped putting the programs on disk. I have my old disks and reload to computer as I need to upgrade the computers.

I quit using MS Office when I learned that most things there could be done on Google Drive for free.

SGT (Join to see) - the Pacific Rim has a unique relationship with intellectual property. I've bought the $20 "official" copy out in the market before.

LTC Jason Mackay - Your assessment of my needs are spot on. As a retiree my needs are very simple. But I do use the word processor and spreadsheets quite a bit, and on rare occasions their Power Point.

PFC Jeffrey Herrington - Your point is so correct. I still have MS Office on one of my computers, and can't even remember the last time I used it because I don't like that computer. But if you're trying to use Google Documents instead of MS Office for work, or even school, you're probably going to find yourself in trouble some day.

I believe there is an Open Office program, you can find it through Google. I actually use Google docs and sheets.
