Hello,

Has anyone experienced this? I just got a new Powerbook yesterday and
when I tried to use PowerPoint the next day (today), it said that the
trial period had expired. Now, isn't this supposed to last for 30
days? What gives? Anyone with any suggestions?

Thanks!

Lauren

Unfortunately the clock starts to tick when the Test Drive is *installed*,
not when the system is purchased.

Use the Remove Office utility as per instructions here;

Then download & install the latest Test Drive here;

& have at it.

Just remember that if you want to go with the 'live' Office later to follow
the same uninstall procedure *before* installing the purchased pkg.
