From: huntr43 on 22 Feb 2010 19:26 Just to clarify. I have a desktop icon that says "microsoft office 60 day trial online". is that the same program in the start menu that says "microsoft office word 2007"?

Yes, it's really quite misleading. There is nothing in Add/Remove Programs to suggest that the installed version is merely a trial, and when you uninstall the trial version (as I did on a recently purchased laptop), the desktop icon remains, presumably so that, if you change your mind, you can redownload the trial version. -- Suzanne S.
