Do you have the trial version? Was Office ever installed? Any of the
components? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Tom Baxter" wrote in message ...

It was a fresh install of Vista 64 and Office 2007 has never touched this machine. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Tom Baxter" wrote in message ...

Are you using the Office 2007 compatibility pack?

Why am I asked to install Office 2007,during the trial period, each time I
want to use it? -- I couldn't figure out how to start my own thread and the previous question brought me here....so, again I ask...... "Why am I asked to install Office 2007,during the trial period, each time I want to use it?" ????????Is this a mistake on Microsoft's part?????? What a burden I must barefor ta freebie!!!! I wanted to try and maybe buy this product but it will take up too much of my time to Install this everytime I wanty to use it. If there isn't another way to try this without the installs each time, I will not be considering this for my business. Any comments?! Have an awesome day!

Neither Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003 or 2007 has *ever* touched this machine. No versions of ANY of these products have been installed ever. Having said that, I am in communication with a Microsoft support rep who recommended I look for the following two registry keys and delete them if they are present. Strangely, I did have these registry keys: HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Office HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office I'm not sure why these keys were present but I deleted them. It did not fix the problem. I am still prompted to install the two Office 2007 updates on a machine that has never had a version of Office on it.

Tom Baxter's question keeps getting repeated with no new resposes. That's not
very helpful. His question was placed after my question, which makes no sense at all. I will be leaving this discussion group since it is a continuation of Microsoft's Office Trial wasting my time. I have fixed my problem by uninstalled my trial to Microsoft Office 2008. YEA!! A resolution that works!!!!!!!!! -- Have an awesome day!

I wonder if Vista itself contains some part of Office, perhaps in order to provide the ability to read Office 2007 documents?
