Thanks everyone for your comments. It probably wasn’t too clear in my OP, but my college kid already has Office on his PC, so I am buying the software for three of us at home. Those student discount offers, if I understand correctly, are good for only one installation. So, although they are heavily discounted, it would cost us 3 x $80 = $240. OTOH, the Amazon price would be $115 for 3 installations.

The freeware is also an option I should consider, but for someone like me it would probably require of a time commitment than I want to make right now. (Whenever I’m doing something new on the computer, it takes me way more time than it does the average person.)
