Microsoft Office 2007


Question Posted Sunday February 1 2009, 4:09 am

I bought a new laptop early last year that had a trail version of Microsoft Office 2007 installed on it. After the trail version ran out I purchased the Product Key online and I purchased the Microsoft Office package containing Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. I have had no trouble with any of these and have used them for months now. The other day I accidentally tried to open Microsoft Publisher and it asked me to enter the Product Key because the trail version had expired and I hadn't bought the version of Microsoft Office containing Publisher. I closed the program and then tried to open Microsoft Word and it was running in the Trail Mode and a message came up saying that the Trail Version had expired and I needed to enter the Product Key. I entered the Product Key and it was accepted but it is still stuck in the trail version. I really really need to use Microsoft Office but I can't because it is stuck in the expired Trail Mode and it says it is accepting my Product Key but it is still in Trail Version. What can I do?

Go to start, run (or press WinKey+R). Type:
appwiz.cpl
Uninstall every Microsoft Office-related product listed there. Restart your computer.

If Microsoft shipped you a CD with your registration key, use that to install Office again. If they didn't, download and install the version of Office that you bought here:

Once the trial is installed, use the registration key to activate it.
