Ingenuine Office

[LunarWolf]

I have an ingenuine of office professional 2003. recently, MS office genuine advantage put something like you have x days before this application is mark as in genuine. Do I have any thing to worry about like they will delete or prevent me from opening any of my documents?

I am currently working on turning into "genuine".

[mischief_ash]

Nothing to worry about except that soon all you'll be able to do is open and close the documents. No editing.

Guess you need a 'genuine' quick fix. It shouldn't be difficult

[hellnoire]

Yeah, download and install OpenOffice.org.

I really don't know why people go out of their way to use cracked software when the open source office suite works just about as well.

[bahirzaheri8]

hellnoire is right, instead of risking breaking the law you can get a suite for free.

Abiword is another one

[hellnoire]

AbiWord only replaces Word though, Bahirzaheri. That's why I don't recommend it often. Though I suppose if Lunar went to Linux like he says, he could use a few other parts of the Gnome Suite

hmm I activated office 07 is open office compatable with MS orifice. lol Thanks for that tip

[hellnoire]

OOo 3 or OpenOffice.org 3 is compatible with the new MS Office formats. I've even got add-ons that can make it save to the formats too.

Making Office Genuine shouldn't be a difficult task with the help of Google. Still, there are many other free alternatives like OpenOffice.Org, Google Docs, etc.

I think Open Office is good, but it is a little bit heavy. As most people generally use Word and Excel only-SoftMaker Office 2006 is a good alternative. It is free, light and fully compatible with both Microsoft Word and Excel.

[hellnoire]

Heavy? You're the first person to call it such, Natella.

I don't use the database function in OOo or MS Office, so I don't know how much that adds. Same with Math. I only use Writer, Presentations, and Spreadsheet
