I really love Microsoft Word, I know there are many other things out there such as openoffice.org. But I was wondering if there is a way I could trick the program into thinking it was an earlier date than it really was, because the trial version only lasted me till the 22nd of January.

 

Yabbut, you'd need a time machine, and that won't be invented until a week ago, Tuesday after next.

Mean time, try this, see if it pops you back in time:
Instant Coffee X Microwave Oven X snooze button...

 

aight ill give it a try, we really need a time machine though.

 

Anything else you tried, setting back the system date, etc, could cause problems with you being connected to the intertoooooobyzzz. The time-stamp on the packets your tooobz-box communicates w/interwebz wont match the packets coming back, and dropped connections or system crashes could result.

Get a paper route, and save up enough to buy a legal copy

 

i just went online and downloaded another trial thatll last me till april 30th and i think word 2010 will b out by then so ill just do another trial and all save up over the summer

 

Download a cracked version. :P

 

You could always build a *virtual machine*, and run it from a VM environment. This would have an added advantage of building some marketable skills working with VM, that could make you some coin...

 

+1 to what headshock said. or you could dl office 2010 beta

 

is that going to let me use it for ever or will it just be another trial thing, and does the beta version let me use every component of office or just a couple
