Hi, I just downloaded openoffice 3.2.1 yesterday. As I use it, periodically, I am asked on a screen that is called Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 for a product key and each time I open it, the message tells me I have 25, then 24, then 23, then 22 etc opportunities to open it free before I am required to enter a product key. Should I take this message seriously. Will my access to openoffice run out after 25 accesses. Can you give me a product key. Thank you for any help you can provide. Charlie Hunter, calgary, Canada.
What's happening is that the "file associations" for the various MS Office types are saying to use Office for opening them, and it sounds as if you probably have an expired trial version of Office that is coming up. You can generally set the file associations by right-clicking on the icon of one of these files, choosing Open With, and browsing to soffice.exe. Select the option to always use this program for this type of file, and you should only have to do this once for each type.
