My machine came with office starter and I am able to read word documents and even write simple documents. It is usable though it wouldn't be my preferred word processor.

Chip,

I was hoping to just use it to be able to open and read Word documents for a while until I figure out whether I can transfer a license from another machine. It sounds like it isn't worth it from what you have said.

Best regards,

Steve,

It doesn't seem to me to have any more capabilities than WordPad, if you can
still get that for your temporary use, then that might do you.

You can use Office starter to download an upgrade to full Office (or of
course probably buy full Office at a better price over the internet).

No one can download Office Starter, so I am unable to see if scripting would
help out the situation.

Hth,

Chip

On my new laptop, there is something called Microsoft Office Starter.  I
thought that this might work for me for a while
until I get Microsoft Office on that machine, but it does not seem to work
well with Window-Eyes.  Is Microsoft Word
Starter a different program than Microsoft Word rather than just being a
limited version?  I may still not have something
configured correctly but thought I'd ask here before I spend a ton of time
on this.  Thanks for any information.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
