Ahaha, do you want the legal version?  I mean, this is China, what with piracy and all.

That said, I'm not sure you can find it.  I would say Metro miiiiiight have it, or you could try (I think it's called) Anhui Buynow Electron Times Square.  http://g.co/maps/w4xs6

Not sure if any of them have it or not.  I had no problem getting it in Hefei, but I got it online....

Download or buy from HongKong

The disks in the Copy shops here are a pain. They'll lock you out of upgrades and put annoying little POP UPS on your screen.

I successfully downloaded MS Office 2011 for Mac today from the official website. $130.00, but, given my line of work, I have no doubt it will pay for itself. Just bite the bullet Mike and get it the right way. The copies will screw you over in the end.
