Microsoft Word Advise

I have had my laptop for 2 years and it came with Word already installed.

Have never had any problems with it but now everytime i try to get on there its asking me for a product key which i havent got? Also this particular word is in a different layout so im guessing its some kind of update. However i havent asked for it to be updated

Any ideas?

Is the product key taped on the bottom of the laptop?

They sometimes do that with the pre-installed stuff.

Check on your start menu, all programs, and look for a sub folder called Microsoft Office. If you've 'accidentally' installed a newer version you should see two Microsoft Word icons. Click on the older one and it should work.

Just had a look and yes it is. Sadly its now unreadable though

Just the one there im afraid. If it was just an update then wouldnt that be the case anyway?

Far be it from me to suggest this, but aren't there websites where you can, ahem, 'obtain' a product key*?

*the author of this post in no way endorses the use of the Internet to obtain such things.

The latest version of Word is a bit weird - it doesn't work like earlier versions - all the functions are in different places.
I've had it on my 'puter at work for two or three months now - I've kinda got used to it, but still can't say I like it much.................

Uninstall MS office.

The office version on your computer was probably a 30 trial version that you have to pay to activate.
