I had the trial version of 2003. I cann ot open a .doc file now. I know I
would always get that same message to convert or cancel when I opened a word
doc file just as on PPS shows. But I could always just cancel and still read
and/or print out the document. Can I just download a file to open .doc files
now that is free or should I just download the trail version of Office? Once
the trial version runs out, then I am sure i would be back in the same
predicament again with the Powerpoint shows though. I really don't use Office
for anything else other than .doc files or Pps files.
