Why has Microsoft Word disappeared from my laptop? How can I get it back?

[Jolly2]

Microsoft Word seems to have disappeared from my laptop.  When I try and open a document I get a prompt from the 'Click-to-run Application Manager' which says that the Microsoft Word Starter 2010 cannot be opened.  I am then led to a box where I have the option of buying this 2010 version or putting in a 25 numbered password to show that I already have it.

I had an older version of Word installed (I think 2007) and was perfectly happy with it.  Does anyone know how I can get it back?

It sounds like your trial period has expired, if you want to continue to use Office 2010 you'll need to purchase a licence from Microsoft..

Whick version of word is currently installed on your Vaio..:smileyconfused:

If you have both versions installed & want to use your 2007 version try uninstalling Office 2010 then installing your 2007 version again..
