I am trying to begin a booklet project with the free trial, but it appears
certain functionalities are "grayed out" and unavailable to me in the
menus.
Can anyone direct me to a list of what features are unavailable in the
trial
version? Thanks in advance.
Have you activated the trial? If not try that. If you have see my further
comments.
Depending on how long the trial has been installed it may have gone into
reduced function mode. In other words it is just a Publisher reader now.
If you just installed this product but have had any other Office trial
software installed previously then the trial may not be useable as it seems
that you can only have one Office 2007 trial activation no matter what
version of Office you had even if it didn't have Publisher as part of the
trial originally.
While not recommended for a production machine you may be able to download
Office 2010 beta and use that Publisher version. Uninstall all previous
trial versions of Publisher. Do a custom install and install only the
Publisher software. Do not allow the software to overwrite any other
versions of Office programs on the computer. That way when the beta expires
you won't have issues removing it. Large download so you need a broadband
connection:
http://us1.office2010beta.microsoft.com/default.aspx?culture=en-US and
download the Professional version. This is a streaming download so if you
want to download and install onto more than one machine go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/download-office-professional-plus/default.aspx
and download Pro Plus.
