microsoft word & excell

[feb]

I bought a new computer with word and Excell on it only to find out that they were both a 60 day trial. After that, they will stop working. How can I get by this without buying these programs? You think you are buying something installed on your computer and find out it is not so. That sucks.

thats annoying - when u first bought your computer you should have checked whether software was the full version or not. phone up the company and ask for a copy of the oem version of microsoft works - its about £40 and has basically everything you need.

Download and install openoffice.org This is free, and will allow you to create and edit Word docs, Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint slideshows.
