You don't need Office anything BUT......please be aware that several people
are having problems with the beta "breaking" Works. I'd suggest uninstalling
that beta but that may not be what you want to do.

And after your number of uses is up, it's just a viewer.

It wants the product key for Office 2007. Not Works, not a previous version
of Office - the beta version. I believe you got it in an email from MS when
you downloaded the beta.

But if you have to uninstall and reinstall Works, am I allowed to say I told
you so? ;-)

Hi Rbt,

The Office 2007 product keys are on the same page as the links for the downloads through the 'Get Beta' items on
http://microsoft.com/office/preview

Be sure to also download the Office 2007 feedback tool from the links below so you can send suggestions, comments or when you find
things are not easily found, directly to the MS Office product team.

Thankyou very much I have gone to that site and started to down load the beta
again and the system gave me a product key I loaded it and I am now up and
running with all of the office products I open them and go directly to the
progrmas with no problem I appreciate your help thak you again I can now
start to enjoy the beta program without worrying about how many sessions I
have left I assume that the beta will run until the new 2007 version is on
the market for sale I have only used the beta version as a prelude to buying
the complete package when it is offered for sale
thanks again for the help
