Microsoft Office Renewal?

I recently purchased a new laptop, on the computer was already a Vista version of Microsoft Office, but it was only a 60 day trial. Well the trial has expired, and a screen keeps popping up when i try and use Word that says enter Product Key. Well, I reloaded a new version of Vista, but I still can't open Microsoft Word. What do I need to get to use Word??

Microsoft Office Renewal?
You will need to buy a Full Version copy of any version of Microsoft Office 2007. However, before you install the new Full Version, you will have it uninstall the trial version.





Seeing that my laptop computer has Windows Vista and Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition (Trial) 2007, the version you will need to buy is Office Home and Student Edition 2007 for $150.00 at retailers such as Best Buy, Online Retailers, and other places.
Reply:Try Open Office, a free alternative to Microsoft Office and is completely compatible with Office programs.





OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.
Reply:the "free trials" are only good for 30-60 days and are not renewable you nedd a that pointto putchase it or take it out of your system through add/remove programs
Reply:If you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here’s a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word to read Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents.





On the other hand, if you’re interested in buying Word (and it IS possible to buy Word without the rest of Office) check out this URL, especially the second group of listings.

Note that the higher of the two prices quoted is for a full version of that program and the lower, for upgrades from existing software. Read the list of upgrade-qualifying software carefully: MS Works is often one, and may have come on your machine.





Good luck.
