[MS Office trial period finished]

Hi,
I am a complete beginer with a computer and do not know anything.


I bought a refurbised computer which came with the VISTA Office Home and Student 2007 trial ? Now that the trial period is over I can not access the Word or the Spread Sheet. I am a senior and can not afford to purchase the program. I do have the 6 discs of the Office Works Suite 2001 that was installed in old computer I bought. Can I install these into my new Vista system, not sure if it will work, and afraid to try incase I ***** up the system.

NEED HELP,
thankyou, Bert.

 

Hi Bert, and welcome to the BBS.
Don't know about your Office Works Suite, but there is free office suite available from Open Office Org.
Worth looking at:

There are web-based office suites becoming available.

My ISP provides one which I use.

Depending on how much you would use it/them, a fast internet speed would be required.
