Jennifer ...

I was the person who originally posted this message and I never did get the
trial to work. The only thing I found out was that it *might* have been due
to having had installed a previous version of the software (or some version
of Microsoft Office).

Microsoft never responded to my request for support and I finally just gave
up and got a copy of a program called Page Plus ... and it seemed pretty good
although I ended just farming the project out to my typesetter instead!!

I wonder how many sales Microsoft lost by failing to provide help for people
who wanted to buy their product but couldn't activate the trial?

Anyway ... .good luck!

i just downloaded my trial of microsoft and i cant activate either...when i
click on "I want to activate the software over the internet" it saids..."The
activation wizard is unable to find a connection to the internet. Please make
sure that your connection is working properly and then retry in a few
minutes." but when i check to see if my internet connection is working it's
working fine.. i can even "connect to microsoft office online" on one of the
programs (which i cant even use because i havent activated it) so what could
possibly be the problem!!!!!! if i could please get a response ASAP because i
need this for a school project as well!
