What happens to the data in Office Test Drive's documents when the trial finishes?

[makuma]

Hi! I'm afraid I can't afford to buy office right now. My Office Test
Drive is finishing in about 7days... Even though I'm a recent Mac user
I've got many Word, Power Point and PDF, documents and I want to keep
them.. Should I copy those documents into a cd to avoid them being
deleted?

Thank you

Antonio

Created documents won't be deleted when the test drive expires--although,
backup cds are *never* a bad idea, so you might as well make it.

You switched recently, sounds like? So you don't have an earlier MacOffice
version to use.

The free NeoOffice.org should open your files fine, for .doc and .pps and
..xls. Preview will handle the PDFs, but PDFs are not program-specific
anyhow. If you have been using Entourage, you'll need to take special steps
to make that information accessible in other programs.
