Does anyone have at least microsoft 2003 that I can use? I upgraded my microsoft 2003 with my friends Home Office and Student 2007. It turns out you can only use it 3 times, but doesnt tell you that when youre loading it, so overides what you've got, lets you use it for a while, then its read only. My computer came pre loaded so I dont have any discs and I cannot access any of my excel or word docs now? I've tried a restore but that didnt work. Or is there anywhere here that sells the discs cheap, like the dvd's!

Hi Robbie,



Are you asking us if we are willing to break copyright laws and say so on an open forum?



You might want to find out if you can download and use open office instead which is not restricted by microsoft as it is not theirs.



When you have done what you need to make a full backup - I'm not sure how not being a computer Geek , sorry.

Not being very computer minded myself, my existing documents show they are saved on microsoft office 97-2003. Would I be able to open them in microsoft 2000 or in open office?
