Use a Microsoft download page.

Still no go? Ask a friend to download it and give it to you on memory stick or CD.

Microsoft pages do not seem to mention a download for Open Office.Perhaps getting copy from someone may work.Could downloading that also be blocked?

OpenOffice?

You mentioned "Office" in your top post. We assume Microsoft Office.

Is that what you mean, or do you mean OpenOffice?
