"Hello. I nned help fast.

I downloaded microsoft office 2003 with a trial period of 60 days.

It has run out, and know i would like to uninstall it.

Once a timed version has expired, you can't go back and use it again without
paying for it.

What, not even to uninstall?

You can uninstall it but if you download it again, it will still know that
you've already used the trial version and have had it expire. The only way
to "fool" your computer into using the timed version again would be to
completely wipe your hard drive out and start from scratch. Kind of a
drastic effect to keep from paying for a program, don't you think?

As I thought - it was just that you replied to my post about uninstalling
saying you couldn't use it and made me wonder.

Incidentally, I don't think even wiping your machine would enable extra use
because the product would still need activation and, presumably, you
wouldn't be able to do that (or don't trials need it?)

Someone has said if i uninstall 2003 it will delte all files including word.

" Omg. Are you serious?

But i already had word before and others, i just downloaded office
in hope if had publisher which it hadnt.

My comp was bought years ago with the full ofice 2000 :| Except Publisher.

All i want to do now, is uninstall 2003, install 2000
and get word back. Can anyone please help? " HelP!

It will remove all the application files, not your documents and other data
files. Just uninstall Office 2003, then reinstall Office 2000.

 

[60 day trial]

go to start menu on computer and then control panel go to ad d or remove
programs click on program to remove

 

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

That won't help him. Once you have an expired trial version, you can't just
uninstall it and reinstall it. It's time to pay for it like everyone else.

I also need to uninstall a trial Microsoft Word program and am worried that
I'll lose the documents that were converted when I installed it. Will they
convert back to their original form when I uninstall the program?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

No documents were "converted" when you installed the trial. If you opened
Word 2003 or earlier documents in Word 2007 and saved them in the new
format, you will need the Compatibility Pack to read them in an earlier
version (back to Office 2000). If you saved them in the original format,
they'll be fine. Any documents you created and saved in the new format can
be opened and resaved in Word 97-2003 format if desired.
