Re: Microsoft Office StarterDate:

Here is a small tip, that might just get you going right now. Not a
replacement for Office, only a temporary solution.
Try go to
http://www.textaloud.com
or,
http://www.nextup.com
..
Here, download and install the TextAloud program. It should be able to open
Word documents, and you will have a wonderful way of transfering your
electronic documents into spoken word, and even have the chance of saving
the result as MP3 files, if that would be of interest. Well, that is only a
couple of the benefits of the software. Even if you don't want to use any of
the benefits, it still should let you read the contents of the Word
document.
I do believe it is something like 15 days of trial, with full functionality.
Should give you enough time to figure your Office license issue. And, if you
decide to buy TextAloud, you will be able to do so, for just under $30 USD.
Besides, first you have bought the software, you are aproved for buying a
long line of SAPI voices, in case that should ever be of interest to you.
