That number is for Windows, not Word. It sounds like you have a trial version that is good for 25 uses or 30, 60 or 90 days. You should be able to use it free by pushing past the registration screen (ESC? Just Enter?) for that trial period.

At the end of the trial, and apparently without warning, it will let you read your files, but not edit them or create new ones. You have to purchase Microsoft Office 2007, or at least Word 2007, to do that.

Like being hooked like a fish, isn't it?

If you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here鈥檚 a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word to read Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents.

On the other hand, if you鈥檙e interested in buying Word, Check out this URL, especially the second group of listings.

Note that the higher of the two prices quoted is for a full version of that program and the lower, for upgrades from existing software. Read the list of upgrade-qualifying software carefully: MS Works is often one, and may have come on your machine.

Good luck.
Did you buy this copy of Word through a normal retailer or through an eBay auction???
