Question

i need a code to use Microsoft Word...but I don't have one , can anyone help me out here?

Answer 1

You would need to buy Microsoft Office. I use OpenOffice, it's completely free and works just the same as MS Office, and can also open, edit and save as MS Office formats.

Answer 2

If you are using a trial version of Word you have another option. You can download a program called writer from www.openoffice.org. It is completely compatible with MS WORD. It allows you to open/create/edit and save in the MS WORD format.

The best part is that it is free.

Answer 3

See if your CD is legitimate, then look for the code key:

Did you just install it? There should be a code on the back of the CD case that it came in
