Nephylim Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Okay,. I have this new laptop which I love soooo much. BUT BUT BUT I can''t open any of my writing documents because apparently i need Office 2010 to do it, which costs £90 that I don't have. Therefore... no more writing and no updates I'm afraid.... unless someone can tell me that there's something else i can do HELP
scotchirish87 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Have you tried something like OpenOffice.org? It's free software that is very compatible with Microsoft applications. 1
Site Administrator Cia Posted April 1, 2011 Site Administrator Posted April 1, 2011 I do use openoffice.org on my netbook actually and it's okay compatible with word. A lot of people also use google documents I think. Open Office LInk Google Docs link 1
Marzipan Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 You should be able to download a free trial set of Office 2010. I did that, but then after 3 months I decided just pay. If I had the 3 downloads, I'd send you the disk, but I downloaded my Office via online.
MikeL Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 We use Open Office software on both a laptop and a desktop computer. All of the programs work well. If you share files with others, such as editors and proofreaders who have Word software, Open Office will let you save your documents in that format (.doc) so the others will not have any problems. Happy writing.
Nephylim Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Thank you sooooooooooo much everyone. I am so grateful but my beautiful Sam fixed it for me like an angel out of the blue and I have Word again BUT. while I'm on the subject of help... why are my statuses coming up twice. Not a real issue... just wondered Updates coming up
Y_B Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I think you should be able to download a trial version of Office from Microsoft. It' could be a good temporary solution if you need a quick fix.
