How Do I update the Office 2007 Beta version to the retail version

[SethwardMonroe]

Every time I try to start word it says that word has stopped working due to
an error. When I search the internet for a solution, it says:
Upgrade to the latest retail version of Microsoft Office Word 2007

~This problem was caused by Microsoft Office Word 2007. Microsoft Office
Word 2007 was created by Microsoft Corporation.

At this time, we do not know the exact cause of this problem.

The trial period for running the beta or pre-release version of Microsoft
Office Word 2007 has expired, and Microsoft Corporation no longer supports
the beta version. You will need to upgrade to the retail version of Microsoft
Office Word 2007.~

How do I update my purchased Office 2007?

Please do not multipost. Uninstall the expired Office 2007 beta.
Install your purchased Office 2007.

sorry I didn't mean to multipost. My beta version is the purchased version. I
only have the beta version and it wont let me open up word. Is there any way
to upgrade the beta without having to buy Office 2007 again? Thanks

The beta version was free if you got it from the Microsoft website. If
you paid for it from somewhere else, well...

There is no such thing as a "purchased beta", at least not legally.
