I've a strange problem with MS Ofice 2007. I can't type anything in MS Word, and all options are greyed out. This happens not only in Word, but also in other MS Office programs. Plz help....

Not that, genuine can't be a problem, cause itz only been a month since I got the original copy(before tht, using the ** version for 3 months)

Were u using trial version wich has expired now?

I'm using the 60 day trial which came with the Digit CD. And it hasn't been 60 days I think. If it had, then it would've notified me about it.

Of course, I know that reinstalling it will take care of the problem, just wanted to know if there was another way out. And I don't need the *ahem* copy, there's just a simple hack to make the trial version function like the full version.

So I tried to uninstall.... I can't even uninstall it because when I try to, I get an error saying that some file is missing or corrupt. :mad:
I think Office isn't working due to this corrupt file. It doesn't even mention the name of the file so I can't fix it....

Thanks for the link Swatkat. I did almost all the steps. I just have to remove the registry keys now. I guess I'll do it later (it's a tedious job).

Thanks all :)

Yeah that's true. Write and Calc are decent programs but nothing can match Powerpoint.

In the last i want to tell you that Microsoft provides their office 2007 trial for only 60 clicks(Means after opening your office 60 time, your trial copy will be expire).
Keep in mind 60 days means not 2 month, but instead 60 clicks only.

Ya, this is principle is followed by some other softwares also...such tweakXP ;)

But which is better 60days or 60clicks depends on usage :mrgreen:
