Office 2003 Trial Edition

[ed_boy]

As my 60 day trial expires today I went to transfer some documents by "saving
as" using WORD on my Microsoft Works. However I now can't save as or copy.
Expires 31st January means you need to do something with any docs by 30th
January.
Is there anything I can do? I don't really want to have to retype the few
standard letters and CV's if I can avoid it.

I have the same problem with locked documents resulting from an expired trial
version of Office Edition 2003. Some of mine would be very time consuming to
recreate. Have you solved your problem and if so how?

No. Problem not sorted. Frustrating. MS got u by the short & curlies!!

You may be able to open them in the Word Viewer and copy/paste the
content into Works:

Beth,
Thank you so much for the tip to use Word Viewer to open and copy which
enabled me to paste into new Works documents. I really do appreciate your
help as it will save me lots of time. In the future I will be more sensitive
to properly using (not using) trial versions!!

My own rule of thumb with trial versions is not to use them unless I am
prepared to pay for the full version.
