Answer» Hello, around two months ago i lost Office when i reinstalled my Vista. So I installed a trial version - i only needed office because of my CV for email job applications. this trial version expires in a few days. I COULD try openoffice, i gather that i can import my cv from my trial version into open office, correct? Will office expire all by itself? Or do have to deinstall it? Tell MS that i don't want it?

Hello,

around two months ago i lost Office when i reinstalled my Vista.

So I installed a trial version - i only needed office because of my CV for email job applications.

this trial version expires in a few days.

I COULD try openoffice, i gather that i can import my cv from my trial version into open office, correct?

Will office expire all by itself? Or do have to deinstall it? Tell MS that i don't want it?
