Is it safe to download?

Of course.


and will it provide a working Word program that I
can then try and install a German language package for? I dont use
powerpoint, excel (only ever rarely) and have no need for Outlook
Express...hence just needing word.


Open Office has indeed a Word-compatible word processor that (as an advanced
Excel user) I find more intuitive than Word. there are I believe other
language options....
