How to Download Microsoft Office 2000 for Free
Microsoft Office 2000 is a suite of productivity applications that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access and Publisher. It was released in 1999 and was one of the most popular versions of Office at the time. However, Microsoft has discontinued support for Office 2000 since 2009, which means that it is no longer updated or compatible with newer operating systems and devices. If you still want to use Office 2000 for some reason, you may be wondering how to download it for free.
In this article, we will show you two ways to download Microsoft Office 2000 for free: from the Internet Archive and from CNET Download. However, before you proceed, you should be aware of the following risks and limitations:
- Downloading Office 2000 from unofficial sources may expose your computer to viruses, malware or other security threats. You should always scan any downloaded files with a reliable antivirus software before opening them.
- Office 2000 may not work properly on newer versions of Windows or Mac OS. You may encounter compatibility issues, errors or crashes when trying to install or run it. You may also need to adjust some settings or use compatibility mode to make it work.
- Office 2000 may not be able to open or save files in newer formats that were introduced in later versions of Office. For example, you may not be able to open or save DOCX, XLSX or PPTX files that were created in Office 2007 or later. You may need to convert them to older formats or use online converters to access them.
- Office 2000 does not have many of the features and functions that are available in newer versions of Office. For example, you may not be able to use smart art, charts, animations, themes, templates or online collaboration tools that are common in modern Office applications.
- Office 2000 requires a valid product key to activate and use it. You may not be able to find a working product key online or you may have to use a key generator or a crack tool to bypass the activation process. However, these methods are illegal and unethical and may also harm your computer or expose your personal information.
If you are still interested in downloading Office 2000 for free, here are the steps you need to follow:
Method 1: Download from the Internet Archive
The Internet Archive is a non-profit organization that preserves digital content such as websites, books, music, videos and software. It has a collection of old software that can be downloaded for free, including Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. Here are the steps to download it from the Internet Archive:
- Go to archive.org/details/office-2000-professional [^1^] or archive.org/details/Microsoft_Office_2000_Professional_Microsoft_X03-89957_1999 [^2^]. These are two different uploads of the same software by different users.
- Click on the "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" section and choose either "ISO IMAGE" or "TORRENT" depending on your preference. You will need a software that can mount or burn ISO files such as Daemon Tools or PowerISO or a torrent client such as uTorrent or BitTorrent to download the files.
- Once you have downloaded the files, you will need to extract them using a software such as WinRAR or 7-Zip. You will get two ISO files: one for disk 1 and one for disk 2.
- Mount or burn the ISO files using your preferred software and insert them into your CD-ROM drive. Alternatively, you can also copy the contents of the ISO files to a USB flash drive and use it as an installation media.
- Run the setup.exe file from disk 1 and follow the instructions on the screen. You will need to enter a product key when prompted. You can try using one of these product keys: XG9HK 51082c0ec5
