Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 is a bundle of the most essential desktop applications: Word 2003 for word processing, Excel 2003 for spreadsheets, PowerPoint 2003 for presentations and Outlook 2003 for e-mail and personal information. Office applications share a common look and feel, which means there's less to learn when switching between them. There are also shared components, such as the drawing tools, that let you create charts, diagrams and text effects. Another strong point is that Visual Basic for Applications is fully integrated, enabling anything from simple macros to custom solutions that automate one or more of the Office applications. Office has been a highly capable product for years, making it hard for Microsoft to come up with compelling new features. New in Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 is great integration with SharePoint Services running on Windows Server 2003, allowing users to save documents to an internal website with features such as update notification, task lists and version control. Tablet PC users get built-in support for Ink, letting you add handwritten notes and drawings to Office documents. Those with constant Internet access will like the updated Task Pane, offering online help and potentially third-party services direct from the Internet. Outlook has been reworked in this edition, with a better interface and more secure e-mail reading. Word 2003 is enhanced with a new Reading view, using ClearType technology and automatic page-sizing for ease in reading online documents.
Although this is the Student and Teacher edition, it is comprehensive and feature-rich. There is also a professional edition, which adds the Access 2003 database manager, Publisher 2003 for desktop publishing and some additional features in the area of XML support and rights management. Office deserves its position as the leading productivity suite. It's an excellent deal, but makes less sense as an upgrade unless you have a tablet PC or will make use of the new collaboration features. --Tim Anderson

This is a superb 'office' productivity package for home and business users. It has a full copies of Word, PowerPoint and Excel (plus Outlook for emails). As mentioned by other reviewers, very annoyingly MS Office Pro Student edition isn't available anymore, so if you also want the superb relational database Access and the very good desktop publisher Publisher you are stuck with the full cost Office Pro. Otherwise anyone who is in full time education (yes even a 5 year old at Primary School) can buy this basic MS Office 2003 package. Main downside is that it is Windows XP or 2000 only. If you think that you only really need Word, have a look at MS Works Suite 2006 which includes a full copy of Word 2002 (not 2003 though), plus MS Works, MS Money, AutoRoute and Encarta standard 2006 - plus this suite also runs on Windows 98SE and ME, except Encarta 2006 (XP, 2000 only). It costs around the same price as MS Office Student at Amazon.
For basic home-office, if you have simple needs (or far more complex), do try out www.OpenOffice.org - it's totally free to download and use from Sun, has basic compatibility with MS Office (it includes Writer, Calc, & DataBase, plus a `PowerPoint' style presenter and a full drawing package) and has all the main functionality of MS Office (you can buy OpenOffice as Star Office for manuals, better support etc. - but then you might well go for this student MS Office 2003 as it's not much more expensive). OpenOffice has complex user interface though, but of course it's free to download, try out and use, plus there is on-line help. There is also the cheap-as-chips Ability Office Pro at £40 from Amazon that is worth a look and includes a good database [see www.ability.com, where you can download a trial version to see if this software suits your needs before buying at Amazon]. These options will also run on Windows 98 SE & ME. However if you need guaranteed MS compatibility for everything and have XP then the choice is really only MS Office.
Note though that the university where I work (University College London) will sell any of their students a full copy of Microsoft Office Professional for £67 (via a Viglen online link) - so prospective students should check this out with their college. Office Pro adds the DataBase Access and the desktop publisher `Publisher'. There are often small discounts for other MS products (e.g. Encarta, Project, XP Pro). Also ask around, Uncle Fred may have a full licensed copy of an older version of MS Office Pro (e.g. 2000 or XP) going spare - I have both.
Nearly everyone, particularly business, expects you to use MS Office, and naturally only that can offer full compatibility with Office. So MS Office [Basic] Student Edition 2003 is highly recommended for top quality office software at a knock down price (I give 3* as no Student Office Pro version is offered any more). But do consider the other options I mention.

I read one of the reviews on here saying that you couldn't use the software after you finished studying so I emailed Microsoft.
This was their answer.
This was their answer.
Question:
I will be a student until July 2006, what will happen to my license after this time?
Answer:
I can confirm that you will remain licensed to use it after this date, even if you are no longer a student. This is confirmed on this site, under the "pricing and ordering" section.
And this is the link
http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/prodinfo/students/faq.mspx
So if you don't mind only having Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint this is great value!

Having toiled with Office 95 on our home PC - kids moaning because they use 2000/2 at school and me struggling because we use 2002 at work, I decided to invest in the Student and Teacher version of Office 2003. Slightly concerned that there was no Access in the latest version. However, received the product wthin 3 days (even with the free delivery option) and installed it on home PC with no problems. Still allowed 2 more installs, so this will support the family as they grow into their own PCs for homework. Fantastic surprise in the case too - a voucher to claim MS Access for 30Euros - translated to £18.81 when I ordered it form the MS website. When combined with the Access offer, this is a great deal - all the major programmes from MS Office for under £120. Only slight problem, does not seem to have installed clip art in all its detail, but loads of images available on the MS website

Delivered very efficiently and worked on one computor. Don't know if this is a 3 computor version as this is not stated on the packaging and have not tried on more than one as yet.

Good product but others do 99% the same for FREE
Microsoft Office is excellent software, but why to pay when you can get on the net a free office tool who does 99% the same of the Microsoft product? [...], or www.abisource. Read more

really a 'big-up' for Amazon
I needed this Super Quick, but as I live in the middle of nowhere in remote Scotland I doubted the ability of Amazon to deliver the next day.

Not worth the CD it's written on
Don't bother with this Microsoft tax. Just go and get yourself a copy of OpenOffice. It's free and works just as well if not better.
