is there are way to buy a business version of MS Word only separate from buying the whole office suite? I only need MS Word for what we're doing.

or, is it allowable to buy MS Word home and use it at a business under the license agreements?

You can certainly purchase a stand-alone version of Word but the price will be high.

The download from Microsoft is $110 here:

The full office suite for business is a hundred dollars more.
You may be able to get a lower price at a retail store.

Both are for installation on one computer only.

thanks very much!
