If I am not mistaken.. when the trial ends office goes into what is called
"reduced functionality mode"...


this means that all the office applications work in VIEWER mode only ..

for example you can see a DOC, DocX, or XLS file, but you cannot change
it...

Office is a big program and takes up lots of space... if you need the space
uninstall it..

there are new simple viewers for DOCX (the new file of word) and XLSX
that you can download for free...

and you would need those ONLY if someone sends you files in the new format,
OR if you have already created files in DOCX
