Everything in Word 2007 trial is grayed out
It says the expiration date is August 1, so that's not it. The rest of Office
is fine. Only Word is limited. Can't create a document, or save a document. Activation went fine. |

Everything in Word 2007 trial is grayed out
I figured it out and will post it here in case someone else set things up the
way i did and is experiencing the same problem. I installed the trial version of Office 2007 alongside my existing Office 2003. The reason option was grayed out in Word 2007 was because Word 2003 was loaded. I was careful not to run both at the same time, but i left Outlook 2003 open which is configured to use Word as its email editor. As soon as i closed Outlook, Word 2007 came alive. So I guess it makes sense that both Words cannot be run at the same time. "Martin" wrote: It says the expiration date is August 1, so that's not it. The rest of Office is fine. Only Word is limited.

FWIW, I routinely use Word 2003 and 2007 simultaneously.

Well, then i really don't understand why that worked, but luckily for me it
did. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: FWIW, I routinely use Word 2003 and 2007 simultaneously. -- Suzanne S.

I suspect it may have had more to do with Outlook than the two versions of
Word. Change Outlook's option to use its own e-mail editor rather than Word. That may remove the confusion. See also http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm which explains some registry changes necessary to ensure more smooth integration of Word 2003/7, but don't forget to change them back when the trial expires, if you are not going to buy the application. Incidentally, if you do decide to buy, do so from a reseller to ensure you get the installation disc. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Martin wrote: Well, then i really don't understand why that worked, but luckily for me it did.
