I
asked my older daughter to let me use hers and she said something about
an eye patch, a hook, and a jail cell ?


Can I tell Ya a secret?

all the bestest software today can be had for free... 'Legally'

want an Office Suite?

www.openoffice.org

its a 64mb download (so you really need Broadband... or a download
manager)

Google is your friend

I don't mean to be rude but who are you? I'm not a fan of taking PC
advice from virtual strangers. Then again, I tend to know what I'm
doing... Bev here does not.

So Bev if you still need some help, email me or send me your MSN and I can
walk you through it.

Actually a legit copy can be had by all -- it's a trial version and it can
be found on the microsoft web age... It will get you over the hump if
nothing else -- and you can always uninstall and reinstall the trial as time
gets down to it requiring activation...
http://www.microsoft.com/office/trial/default.mspx click on the pretty link
and download the standard edition

Hey Tiff, Well I tried getting my oldest to send me hers and she called
me a Pirate ! LOL! If I did have a friend....yeah I have one and she
were to burn it for me is that different than just using the original
CD and will I still be a pirate? looking innocent Bev


Hmmmmmmm Actually what version is it? Certain versions are allowed to be
'shared' with a certain amount of computers -- MS office 2003 for students
and teachers can actually be put on 3 computers... So it's not actually
pirating...

I don't know about the ethics, probably because I don't care. You bought
it,
so its not like you never paid for it. I suppose you have to figure if
its
'illegal' or not. lol

Driving away from the pump after I fill my tank is unethical too, but
just as tempting! "but officer I was thinking about how to pirate
myself a copy of Microsoft word and just forgot to pay for the gas"
rofl! oh yeah ! cuffed


No....driving away from the pump without paying is out-right stealing.
Burning a copy of something you already own is another story. Just my
opinion. If you never owned it, I would say its stealing.

Just so you know.... the agencies that crack down on piracy aren't to
concerned about one person burning a copy for themselves. Its those that
burn copies and resell them at high volume.

She's 100% correct

things done these days.

Nope. 20 questions? :-)

It's up to him... he tends to be mysterious at times but as far as I
know, he doesn't bite.

Pity, that.

'Kate

Was he before my time?

I can help a bit... Try this... Go to start, run and type in 'winword' minus
the ' things... hit enter or click ok... word should open if it's
installed... Paint is actually part of your operating system... You can try
going to start and run and typing in 'mspaint' see if it opens... If you get
an error make note of it and let me know what it is...

HTH!
Kim

Kim! followed your lead in "run" didn't get it but ! "winword" in

I'd trust her
Heh heh heh I am still looking seems I really don't know what I am
looking for tho, unless it says "HEY YOU Here here I am Microsoft word
click me and your troubles are over"! I probably will not know what the
heck I am looking at. I have searched and put in "word" and " microsoft
word" and found mucho files that open up in "notebook" and most of it
looks like another language to me etc but just no sure tell tale file
that is opening for me to like reactivate it or whatever you would do
if it has disapeared from existence , I just know we did have it and I
am getting the wrap for deleting it I was looking at the programs to
buy and well , we go from somethuing "complete" for 150.00 to a less
complete one for 30 bucks and I sure dont know yet what I'll do. heh I
asked my older daughter to let me use hers and she said something about
an eye patch, a hook, and a jail cell ? I have acrobat reader /writer
who knows maybe it dances too? would that get me through online
classes? Bev

go to start, settings, control panel, add or remove *programs* and see
if microsoft office is listed. if it is, click "change" and tell it to
repair itself. I'm not sure if that works without an installation disk.

Ahh yes lemme tellya what I did find via your guidance .....No
microsoft WORD but I did find Microsoft WORKS whats difference?


MS Works does have MS Word... Just go to start, run and type in "winword"
and click enter... word should open
