Answer 1

you had a trial version >now you have to buy it to use it

Answer 2

Since your free trial was for an old version of Office, go ahead and uninstall it. Then you can download genuine, not pirated Microsoft Office 2010 beta for free. You can enjoy using the beta until October 2010. Microsoft Office 2010 goes on sale in June:

Free on-line versions of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint are available from the same link. Click the Try Office Web Apps link for instructions. There's nothing to install. You use the free Skydrive versions of Microsoft Office from any computer - Mac, PC, or even LINUX - in your FireFox, Safari or IE web browser. These free Word, Excel, and PowerPoint versions don't expire. You can print and save your files to your computer even though you're using your web browser.



The URL below has links to many free products that compete against Microsoft Office, including open source OxygenOffice and NeoOffice (both of these are better than OpenOffice), Google docs, AppleWorks and others. Be real. Compatibility of the alternatives with Microsoft Office can be pretty bad if you do more than just simple stuff. None of the alternatives offer VBA add-in support, for example.

Answer 3

The key is part of the license, aka the expensive part. You will need to repurchase the whole program or call your computer manufacture and see if they can give the key to you (highly unlikely). Alternatively you can use open office, its free and support power point files but it's not the same so you are going to suffer a learning curve trying to figure out what the open office equivalent is to power point.

Why don't you try the library or your schools computer lab?

good luck.

Answer 4

Download Open Office (http://openoffice.org/). It's exactly like Microsoft Office, but it's free!

Answer 5

As you have figured out your trial has expired. But you are in luck! You can download Office 2010 for free here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx
