Free trial: Microsoft Office 2007 Small Business Edition

Microsoft Office 2007 Small Business Edition

NOTE MADE 28 JAN 2011

Free Microsoft Office and Microsoft Publisher trials

Visit the new Office 2010 page on the small business website for more information and free trials of Office Home & Business 2010 and Office Professional 2010.

Microsoft Publisher has always been - and continues to be - one of Microsoft's most popular applications. Part of the Office suite, Publisher 2007 has now been superseded by Publisher 2010, and is part of the Microsoft Office 2010 suite of applications. You can get a free trial of Office Home & Business 2010 (which doesn't include Publisher), a free trial of Office Professional 2010 (which does include Publisher) or a stand-alone free trial of Office Publisher 2010 on the Office Online website.

And now... back to the original post

Fancy a freebie?  You can try the new (and much easier to use!) Microsoft Office suite of applications free of charge for 60 days.  Office 2007 Small Business Edition includes:

  • PowerPoint 2007
  • Publisher 2007
  • Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager
