I have just noticed that Softmaker Office 2008 is available for free download until the 31st December ( http://loadandhelp.com/home-en.html ). There appears to be no restrictions or catches although you have to give your email address in order to receive the activation key.
For those not familiar with this product, it is a "cut down" office suite (word processor, spreadsheet and presentation) but is very fast in comparison with MS Office and Open Office. I find it more than adequate for home use.
