The information you gave from Word is correct for your purchased version of
Office.

It maybe that your trial version hasnt actually been installed, is there an
icon on your desktop for Office 2007 Trial?
Or assuming your PC is using Vista, Click the start/Orb Btn (Bottom left of
screen), then select Control Panel, then click Uninstall Programs.
A window will open & after a few secs will populate, look for the MS Office
Trial entry, select it and uninstall.
If after the uninstallation it says restart computer, say no, then look
again in the window for Office Instalation Assistant, select that and
uninstall. After that then restart the PC.

Try Word, see if its OK, allthough you may have to use your Office cd to
repair/Diagnose
Good luck

Uh oh. No, I didn't uninstall the trial version first. I'm not sure how
neophytes are supposed to know those kinds of things. At any rate, thank
you
very much for the information. I think there IS a problem. When I opened
Word just now I got an error message that said, "Office application
version
does not match." I used Word yesterday, didn't get that message, and it
seemed to work fine. A difference between yesterday and today is that I
did
insert Disc 2 and install the stuff on it - after I saw Tom's reply and
before I saw yours.

When I click on the Orb button and follow your instructions, I see this:
Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6331.5000) SP1 Microsoft Office Office
(12.0.632.5000) Part of Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007.

Should I uninstall everything - which I don't know how to do yet - and
start
over?

Thanks.

Firstly, if you didnt uninstall the trial version before you installed
from
your purchased cd you are going to have problems.
Start Word, click the round Orb Btn (Top left corner)
Click Word Options
Click Resources
In about Office word, what exactly does it say for version & part of
which
Office suite?

Disk 2 is for Outlook BCM (Business Contact Manager) only install it if
you
intend to use it

As for the rest of your post, see Tom's reply

I feel so dumb. I just bought Office Ultimate and have installed it on
my
computer, replacing a trial version of Office. The thing is, this is
the
first time I've ever bought software, ever. And I have no idea what
I'm
doing. I expected there to be a manual or something. I saw that I can
get
basic training online. But I have a few other questions just about
installation and software. Please don't laugh - well, okay,
laugh...but
not
too loud.

1. There are two discs in the package. I put Disc 1 into my computer
and
it seems to have completely installed the suite. Soooo....what on
earth
is
the second disc for?!?!? What do I do with those discs now? What
would I
use them for again?

2. I read the licensing agreement and it said that I'm allowed to make
one
copy of the software to use to reinstall the program. Uh...why would I
need
to do that if I already have the discs? And if it's just a back up
thing,
in
case the discs get lost or damaged or something, then HOW do I make
that
copy
of the software? And would I copy both discs? Both disc one that
seemed
to
have everything on it and the mysterious disc two that already baffles
me?

OMG - I'm too young to be this clueless. I feel like my 80 yr. old
mother-in-law. Thanks in advance.
