Default Cannot open new word doccument, and not able to edit old doccu

You are confirming that if you start Word in Office Safe Mode (using the /a
switch or pressing Ctrl while it is loading), you still cannot create or
edit documents? And you still get no response from Help | Activate Product?

Still not luck. I cannot even find someone to ask at microsoft. I tried to
check the authentication on their site but it just refers me back to the
manufacturer who installed it.

Is this a (now expired) trial version of Word, supplied with

so,
you now have to buy the software if you wish to continue to use

it!
