HELP

[Nephylim]

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

Have you tried something like OpenOffice.org? It's free software that is very compatible with Microsoft applications.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
