[Njtechdiv] activating office or updating it.

Dear Ken
Guess what?
There are great working other free downloads that work just as well as word 
They are easier to navigate as they do not involve ribbons
yippee
My favorite that I use instead of word 7 which is on my computer is
jarte
go to 
www.jarte.com
the menu bar has file, edit,  insert, format, tools, window, help and system

give it a look/see and let me know your thoughts
Hope this was helpful
See you at convention thursday night ready to share your knowledge with others!
Janie shouting woo hoo

Hi tech div, ken here with a problem.  I got this machine in 2010 and haven’t really fiddled with something on it and today discovered something.  My sister didn’t know this when she bought the computer.  she just assumed it was installed on it but today needed word to read the soundingboard and when I went to office 2010 on the computer, it wanted me to enter a product key a 25 character key.  it is like or should I say was likely on in the box for this computer but likely long long gone.  my sister didn’t know that just like she didn’t know norton and products were a no go for totally blind.  so I am stuck with a piece of useless software that my sister didn’t know had to be bought or setup on the computer and didn’t know that I needed a product key.  so How can I read this soundboard or any document like it.  can I change file associations some way to make notepad or possibly HJ pad in jaws read it?  also since I’m using jaws as a demo only will HJ pad still work when I have switched to NVDA?  will keep newsletter in my inbox pending a solution.
