Q: I created Word files using a trial version of Word 2007. This has expired and now I can’t open the files. Is there a way around this without having to purchase the complete edition?

Hello,

It depends on the file format you saved them in.

If you saved them as .doc files, you should be able to open them with MS Word.

However, if you used one of the Word-specific formats, I’d ask a friend to download the trial version, open the files and then resave them as .doc files.

Download the trial version at Microsoft: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/default.aspx

Regards,

Ivan
