Evaluation Products

[duffsparky]

I am evaluating Visio 2007. I've installed the Standard Trial version
I now want to use some of the 'Professional' version features. I have
downloaded the 'Pro Trial' but it won't install, presumably because it
finds I have already installed a trial version. I'm concerned that if
I uninstall the 'Standard Trial' I'll end up not being able to install
either product. Microsoft Support won't help as they don't support the
'Trial' versions of their software. Fat lot of use that is.

Last week I created a drawing and used the 'Up, Down, Left or Right'
arrow keys to move shapes around the drawing in several pixel steps,
and in conjunction with the 'Shift' key to move the shapes around in
one pixel steps. Today, however, the same key-controls move the
document around instead of the shapes. I've searched for a solution
but found nothing and once again MS Support will not help.

Has anyone got any solutions to these problem?

Any help resolving this would be much appreciated.

Kind regards.

Use a Microsoft Virtual Machine to do this so you don't run into conflicts. Freely available and usable for this exact scenario.

Hi Sparky,

If one trial expired you won't be able to extend it by adding another one, but other than that you should be able to switch to
another trial if the download isn't flawed.

For Visio, you may want to use the link below to post to the MS Office Visio discussion group.
