step 1: click the link in the "Sources" section below my answer
step 2: download "wordview_en-us.exe" by clicking the "download" button
step 3: follow any on-screen instructions it may give you to assist you through the download process
step 4: install the compatibility pack
additional notes:
this will work if it is what you say it is. its probably not the same compatibility pack you have, if it is,
then you need to install the software.
That doesn’t sound like a Compatibility Pack problem. It sounds like a free trial copy of Microsoft Office that was good for 25 uses (of all Office programs combined) or 60 days. At the end of that time it stops letting you edit your files or create new ones. You have to purchase Microsoft Office 2007, or at least Word 2007, to do that.
Note: The 25-character product key on the computer case or laptop bottom is NOT the key for MS Office. It’s only for the Windows operating system.
Here are some of your options for paying less than full price for Microsoft Office 2007:
First, if you’re a student, you may qualify for the Ultimate Steal edition of Office at a pretty good price ($59.95):
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.
Finally, if you’re willing to spend a little to save a little, Microsoft Works is available in stores for about $40.00. You could buy a copy, install it, then buy Office at the upgrade level. I think you’d come out ahead. Note that the upgrade copy probably checks your machine for Works’ presence, so don’t get rid of it after you’ve installed Office. You never know when you’re going to have to reinstall Office.
Also, if you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here’s a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word (and Microsoft Works) to read and write Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents. Some new features of Word 2007 will be lost or converted to straight text in the conversion to the earlier version.
