Windows Vista compatibility
I recently purchased a Toshiba laptop with Vista and have just realized that
the Word software included is only temporary, and that I will need to purchase and download Word to get some sort of "product key" (and that only took a few hours to define, the "help" button to which I was directed did not actually exist.) I do not need a whole suite of programs, just word processing. Any suggestions? -- Ane Banane |

And if you don't need the latest version, you can get Word 2002 as part of
Works Suite, for under $100. -- Suzanne S.
