Test Drive running out

[bastianpt]

This is a basic question. After my 30 day free test drive for
Office:Mac will the documents that I created still be saved and
accessible through the purchased version?

Yes. Your mail is stored in the Microsoft User Data folder and the purchased
version will use that data.

Please note, you MUST remove the test drive before installing the purchased
version. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

If you do not get a complete removal of the test drive you'll have trouble
using the purchased version. This is a known problem.

Use "Remove Office" to remove the test drive.

Yes, but as a word of caution -

Make sure you uninstall Test Drive *correctly* & follow the
uninstall/install procedure for safeguarding certain stuff as indicated
here (bottom of the page):

They don't mention templates you might have created.

The Normal Template contains toolbar customizations for Word as well as the
default settings for every new Word document not based on another template.
The Normal Template is located in the "Templates" folder in your "Microsoft
Office" folder.

TiP; Put your templates in your Microsoft User Data folder, where they won't
be touched if you use "Remove Office", and set the Project Gallery to find
them there.

Hi Diane -

Point well made for any custom templates, but re:

The Normal Template is located in the "Templates" folder in your "Microsoft
Office" folder.

I thought even the Test Drive for 2004 stored Normal in the MUD?
