Downloading the free version of Microsoft Word 2007 for a trial of the software

Before giving Word 2007 a spin, make sure your system can handle it.

Frustration         You might be tempted to download the free trial version of Word 2007 and give it a spin. But, unless your computer and current operating system can handle it, it might be more frustrating than fun.
          I have an old laptop at home – in it’s day (it is about 6 years old) it was a pretty souped up machine. Both my computer at home and at work run Windows XP. Since I have removed many of the programs, and most of the documents that were once on the laptop, I decided to try the Trial version at home.
          I loved the Word 2007 at work, and was amazed at how much better it was than my old Word. So naturally, I wanted the same for home. Unfortunately, it was just too much for my laptop to handle. I can do work processing (I am using it now), yet once I try to insert a picture, the machine bogs down.

Internet Connection
