Using MS Word Trials off their site out of necessity - FourGalore
Posted: Nov 05, 2012
Hello coleagues,
After a lengthy period of unemployment partly due to disability, I finally landed a job with a respectable MTSO. I splurged today and bought the PC and necessary peripherals along with wireless Internet, which works great. I am a little short fiscally this month, though, so one of their requirements I am going to have trouble fulfilling is having a working copy of MS Word 2003/07/10 on my machine.
I respect MS a lot and I am NOT into "stealing" software, but is it going to be possible for me to download the 60-day trial of MS Word 2010 and use it with the program? Then, when the time is up, I can buy it online? By that time, I will have the earnings accumulated to do so.
I don't see how a trial copy of MS Word from the MS website is any different functionally than what you'd buy at a computer store so I think/hope it works...Does anyone have any comments? Again, I am not thrilled to have to do this, but it is out of necessity. Any comments? Would it probably work?
THANKS!
I don't see why not. (see msg) - Maggie May
[ In Reply To ..]I don't know if it would work or not, but if they offer a free trial for 60 days I don't see why you shouldn't take advantage of it. Not to sound negative, but also if the job doesn't work out, you won't be out all that money for something you might not need. Good luck to you.
Thanks, Maggie :) - FourGalore
[ In Reply To ..]I don't think there is anything unethical about it as long as it's not for the purposes of abuse, etc. It's not like steeling or pirating or anything like that! I'll let you know how it pans out. THANKS

Might also consider the possibility of exchanging new computer - for one with Word already loaded.
[ In Reply To ..]Something in the same price range or cheaper. Since you just got it, you should still be able to exchange?

Looking For A Site For Pharmaceuticals
Nov 19, 2010
A long time ago before my computer crashed I used to have a website I went to often if I could only make out a few letters in a medication and if those were in the middle of the drug. Example - if the drug was Sandostatin and I could only make out "and" or "stat", I'd type in and or stat and the site would bring up all drugs with those letters in them. I've got a few drug sites like MedicineNet, WebMD drugs, RxList, Drugs@FDA, and RxList, but none that let me do a search for just ...
