Totally stymied, hoping there is someone that can set me down the road
for a solution.
First the background:
Rebuilding my PC after a hard crash I attempted to re-install "Office
Professional 2007 Upgrade" version. But couldn't find a CD that it
would accept as a "valid application" for updating.
I did have a full version of "Office Home and Student", so I installed
that (believe that is where I went wrong, but no matter...). Office
Pro 2007 accepted that as an upgradeable app. The install was
successful as in "no errors"...
However, now Excel, (and Word, Powerpoint) still think they are "Home
and Student".
Tried to find an answer on Microsoft's Answer Forums. Won't accept a
question from me. Everytime I sign-in to post and get to the "One More
Step" window I get a message Sign-In didn't work, try later.
Tried to find an answer on Microsoft's Forums. It allows me to sign-in
and fill out an email, but then when I go to Select a Forum - there
are no options available just "Select One". Of course the post never
completes as I have to select a forum.
I tried to contact the Activation People, unfortunately you have to do
that by phone, but I can' get a phone number because the application
is already activated.
I called Microsoft support, but they sent me back to online sources,
unless I'm willing to pay this month's total software budget, ...
So now I'm trying here. At least I can post here. <g>
So does anyone know of any place, source, etc. that might get me on
some road to recovery?
