My computer came with a pre-installed 90 day trial of MS
Office. I wanted to convert the trial to the full
product. Rather than purchasing an activation code
online, I bought MS Word 2003 software at a local store.
I installed it, but there is no new icon to open the
newly installed program. Every shortcut I try opens the
trial version.

Any suggestions? I would appreciate an E-mail to:

Thanks.

I think you should remove the trial (or whatever versions appear when you
use the Add/Remove Software item available from the Control Panel and then
do a fresh installation with the purchased copy
