Yes, the beta is free and yes, it does have a time limit. But it is also can affect the stability of your system and has caused some people to lose data, reformat their systems, and spend a lot of time trying to get it to work/work properly. If you are just looking for free software, you really need to ask yourself how much time and aggravation are you willing to invest in this effort? -- JoAnn Paules MVP microsoft [Publisher] "Computer Wiz" <Chris.Hougard@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1149736043.490566.92860@g10g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > Is the beta version of office free?
