- 1). Check that you can convert your trial version to the full retail version. If there is no conversion or activation button on the user interface, uninstall the trial version and buy and install the full version.
- 2). Convert to the full version when you first use the program. When asked to activate the trial version, click "I do not want to activate my copy. Instead, I want to convert to the full version now," and follow the steps in the activation wizard.
- 3). Upgrade to the full version any time you use the trial program. In the program menu select "Options," click the "Resources" tab, select "Activate," and follow the steps in the activation wizard. On some versions of Microsoft Office programs, click "Help" and then "Activate Product."
- 4). Convert after your 60-day trial. Click "Convert" in the expiration reminder message and follow the activation wizard.
- 5). Activate your hard disk copy of Microsoft Word by entering the 25-character product key in the Trial Activation Wizard dialog box. You will find the product key inside the DVD or CD case.
