can't, open microsoft word 2010.
I have word 2010 is installed on my laptop as part of a package of software that came with the computer when it was purchased new from Best buy. Used for 3 months, but now when I try to open it, it appears a box to tell me "program could not be opened, try again or repair in the Panel" all attempts of the 'fix' in Control Panel, it calls a "product key". I don't have a product key, the program provided with the laptop! What gives?
Hello jonathanspringer,
By the sound of things, you use a trial version of Microsoft Word.
Most of the manufacturers of PC bundle versions of trial software with a new PC to make it more attractive. I guess that's what happened with your PC.
Unless you actually bought a copy of Microsoft Word - in which case you should have a product key - then your only option is actually go out an buy a copy of the product physically and install it yourself. You could also connect with Best buy and make sure it is a 'demo' that they have provided and not a paid full version.
Now, that's the bad news.
The good news is that Microsoft Word is not the "be all and end all ' of the word processing software. Yes, it's good, and Yes, I use it regularly. However, there is a 'free' alternative and it's Apache Open Office http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html.
If you did not purchase Microsoft Word then give Apache Open Office a test. You will find that it does exactly what you want it to do.

Hello Dave Penrod,.
Microsoft Word or Microsoft Office are not free. Yes, you can download a copy of the 'trial' for free 'but' after the trial, you will need to purchase the product.
Microsoft Word is not the bee all and put an end to all the word processing market. Why not try OpenOffice Apache https://www.openoffice.org/ now OpenOffice is completely free!

MS word offers the option of Microsoft Word 2010 (2) in the list of the start menu
Original title: program registration under Start button
Today, when I was looking for a program that is displayed when I select the Start button, I noticed that the number 2 see the next to registration for Microsoft Word 2010. It looks now like this: Microsoft Word 2010 (2)
I don't think it was like that the other day when I finally used Word. Any ideas on why it would start that looks like this? I made no changes to my computer.
I use Microsoft 7 Home Premium.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Debba,.
-You have two entries in the start menu for Microsoft Word? One is Microsoft Windows Word 2010 (2) and the other is Microsoft Word 2010 Microsoft Office on the start menu?
-Is this Microsoft Word 2010 (2) successfully opened?
-This happens to you with other programs in the list?
If there are two icons for Microsoft Word 2010 on the Start menu, remove the icon of Windows of Microsoft Word 2010 (2).
All you have to do is click on Microsoft Word 2010 (2) and click on remove from this list.
This seems to be only a Microsoft Word 2010 shortcut added to the list of the start menu.
Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

I have windows vista and I recently bought a new antivirus and I also bought Microsoft Word 2010 and I want to reset my computer without deleting those?
Any help please?Hello HectorRodriguez_977,
Reset to factory wipes the hard clean of EVERYTHING.
You need to reinstall your Antivirus, and Microsoft Word 2010 from the original media.
This applied to ALL programs that you have installed since your computer was new.
And back up ALL your data: pictures, music, Documents, etc., or you will lose them, too.
