What Office program would work the best for me?

good laptop for video editing 2011 image

I am a high school student, and need office for my mac laptop; all I need is Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I would really love to spend the minimum amount on it. What program would be the best for me to purchase? Thanks!

Answer
"all I need is Word, Excel, and Powerpoint."

Funny, because, well, that is Office. That is it, those three... unless you think you might need their groovy email app.

For a Mac OS system, you have these options:
â You can open and edit .DOC or .DOCX files in TextEdit. You can also create reasonably good .DOC files with TextEdit. It lacks some of the more exacting formatting options found in the other choices below.
â MS Office 2011 (for OS 10.5.8 or later). About US$130.
â Apple's Pages that is like Word, and Keynote that is like PowerPoint. Each US$19.99, click the App Store on the Dock.
â NeoOffice, newest version US$10, last year's version free. Some people use OpenOffice or LibreOffice, but they are lesser cousins to NeoOffice.
â http://Docs.google.com or other online office editors.

{NeoOffice is the direct Mac development of OpenOffice and LibreOffice, and thus has a better interface, smaller size, and better highlighting appearance. Most people learn about OpenOffice from PC use, but they don't know there is a better free version for OS X.}

COMPATIBILITY:
â MS Office 2011 can edit and save any office document.
â Apple's Pages / Keynote / Numbers (sold separately) can edit any .DOC / .PPT / .XLS document, and export as .DOC / .PPT / .XLS document, but can only view .DOCX / .PPTX / .XLSX documents and edit / export them as .DOC / .PPT / .XLS.
â NeoOffice can edit and export any Word document, but has the same limits as Keynote for PowerPoint documents.

Pages is similar in use to Word, except not as many oddities and hidden defaults that are hard to change. Keynote is similar to PowerPoint, except with much better transitions. Keynote has two limitations: it cannot apply a video to more than one slide, and it cannot apply an audio file (music) to more than one slide (except as background for the whole presentation). That's why I have both Apple's office apps and MS Office.

Just to be clear i know how to create a video on my camera and put it on youtube.. that is easy

i want to know how can i like get for an example a a sample of a youtube video in my own video so i can put on youtube.. or maybe a sample of a DVD film playin from my laptop, how would i get that in a video created by me onto Youtube?

Answer
Use "Free Download Manager" to download videos from youtube and similar sites:
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

It integrates with any browser. When the add-on is installed, you'll see a small green 'Download with FDM' box appear when you hover your mouse pointer on the upper left hand corner of the video a few seconds after it starts to play.

You can download videos from streaming video sites like Youtube, Metacafe, Dailymotion, Veoh, Google Video, etc.

The video is saved in its native format but can be directly converted to other popular formats like MP4, MPG, AVI, WMV, FLV, and yes, even MP3.

As for DVD movies, rip the whole movie to your hard drive using this:

After getting all the videos you need, edit them on Windows Live Movie Maker 2011:

Finally, post your work to youtube.
