Free Trial - Did not pay $150 for Full Version !

Hello. I bought a new computer last Sept., and a free trial of "Office
2003" came with it. I used it occasionally for the trial period and then
let it lapse. I did not want to pay $150.00 for the "full version."

I have 2 problems now ! Every time I receive an on-line photo, the
"Office 2003" "grabs it" .. files it, and won't let me do anything with it !

And, because I want to continue using the "Works" program, I want to get
the few documents in the "Word" program -- over to my "Works" program. But,
the same thing happens. When I go to the "Word" program, it won't let me
do anything with the documents I have saved there !

Because I am not willing to pay $150 for the full version, I now want to
get "Office 2003" off of my computer ! But, does that mean that
"everything" I have saved in "Office 2003" has to "go away" ???

Will anything else be affected when I "remove" the Office 2003 program?


Thanks in advance for any suggestions !!

No, your files won't go away but you won't able to do anything with them
unless you get a viewer. I can't help you convert Works to Word but I'm sure
someone else here can direct you with that. (I've always used Word.)

(Make sure you uninstall the Office trial before installing the viewers.)
