MS Office 2007 Trial - HELP!!

[delinai]

I downloaded the trial version today & have been having problems right from
the start:

1. When I opened Word or Powerpoint, the Activation Wizard says that the
trial is expired (which I can't understand as I only downloaded & activated a
few hours ago) & that I should convert to the full product.

2. When I try 'Word Options' and click 'Activate', it gives me the same
message.

3. If I click 'Cancel', I can't key in anything cos it says "The selection
is locked". I read the link that Carey gave as her reply about locked content
but I can't seem to find the 'Properties' Button - so i still have a problem
with locked content (even when there is no content).

I don't understand where I went wrong. I followed all the on-screen
instructions step-by-step & I had already keyed in the product key given when
I was prompted to do so.

I even tried calling the Microsoft Technical Support, which referred me to
Activation Centre, which referred me back to Technical Support. As this is a
new PC, I don't have an older version of MS Office to fall back on & I'm at
my wit's end cos I have an assignment due very soon & i need the powerpoint
as I don't have the time to do it during office hrs. :-( If anybody has any
idea what to do, I'd appreciate any suggestions. Many tks in advance!

Hi Maurice,

Tks for replying. I'm not sure what you mean? When I tried downloading the
MS Office Home & Student Trial, there was only 1 download button, not 2. What
do I need to do differently?
