||||
|||| Exactly how did you find out your copy was not valid?
||||
|||| How did you obtain the software? Vendor, friend, etc. Do you

|||| installation key
|||| or was the product included with a computer?
||||
|||| The reason I ask is that the genuine validation tool from
|||| Microsoft will make mistakes at times.
||||
||||
||
|| Sounds like a winner to me. The version you have was obviously not
|| genuine (pirated) so I would recommend uninstalling and using Open
|| Office unless you

||
|| Thx for clarifying that for me. I still have the "Get genuine
|| office" icon, in the task bar. If I buy Office, will that disappear,
|| and if I dont will I be stuck with it?
