MS Office expired, Want to order Word only.

[siempre]

My new computer came with full MS Office Pro. The trial period just ended,
and I am locked out unless I order the full version. I want to order just
"Word" only, not all the other programs in MS Office. How can I do this?
Presently I cannot get into Word. Your wizard advised me to go to "Add,
Remove Programs" and uninstall the programs which I do not want. I did this
and left "Word" installed. I still cannot get into it. What shall I do, and
how do I order "Word" only?

I have read this three times and it *still* doesn't make sense. What do you
have - a full licence or a trial? A trial, by definition, *cannot* be a full
licence unless you convert it.

Of course you can't "get into it" - the trial's expired! You're not very
bright, either, are you? If you want Word, then how do you think you
purchase it? We didn't think, did we...?

This isn't MS support, either. It is a peer-to-peer newsgroup.

You are a first rate asshole, aren't you.

Word 2003 can be purchased from your preferred software vendor as a separate
package. Suggest you go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/word/howtobuy/default.mspx

and check the upgrade eligibility requirements against the pre-installed
applications in your new computer or products you may have on hand. If you
have a qualifying product you can purchase and install the upgrade version
of Word 2003. Else, you need to pay the full price for the none upgrade
version.

If you do not have a qualifying product you may want to consider:

If you are a student or teacher, purchase the Office 2003 for Students
and Teachers which contains the same applications as Office 2003 Standard
Edition.

If you just need the features of Word 2002, purchase the current Works
Suite.

In the US, both of the above are frequently offered as sale items at stores
such as Staples.
