If you're a student (or have children at school) try www.software4students.co.uk.

Alternatively (again), try OpenOffice.

are you sure the key you're looking at is for word and not vista? My laptop only has a serial for XP. Did you get a CD or DVD with word on? normally the key is on the case

My key is for Vista and not Word. It came pre-installed on my laptop so no disc or case to look at. The key is on the bottom of the laptop.

Thats the thing, you have to be open-minded when trying things like this.
However naturally for humans, anything new has to be bad

In fairness, i'm not terribly keen, but it's gotta be better for new users to word processing.

I would stick with Word 2003 - I bought 2007 and I hate it - its not user friendly and is confusing. good luck.

2007 isnt too bad yes it can be a bit of a pain trying to find things which have been moved but you do get used to it,

The new ribbon interface is far superior to Office 2003, it's far more efficient to use keys to navigate menus rather than the mouse. Infact, reliance on the mouse was regression not progression.

Its a poor show when new moneysavers, who are only trying to help, are called "knuckledraggers" on here.

Irrespective of Connor's choice of words, he still raised a valid point.

So, no hope of decorum in the forum.
