Hi, Please does anyone know how i can get a free microsoft word, frontage for my laptop and also whats the best program i can use to open a .zip files. Thanks.

you cant get free ms word
its a commercial application. you can buyit at pc village for n150 which is less than 1% of its actual market value

you can use any of the following apps for zip files
winzip, 7zip, winrar, peazip. google them

only peazip and 7zip are free, though.

MS WORD and MS FRONTPAGE are not free! Go computer village if they sell software package, buy MS WORD and MS FRONTPAGE separated individually or entire student or business MS OFFICE professional (not sure which one but be sure MS FRONTPAGE is included on that package of MS OFFICE suite)

I prefer using 7zip, free zip compression software that is googled. Just type on the google's empty search field box: "7zip download" without a quote.

If you cannot afford buying MS WORD and MS FRONTPAGE, then google to find free HTML authoring and alternative of MS OFFICE is OPENOFFICE, a MS Office cloned software that is produced by the SUN (JAVA founder). Link below:
