I inherited my desktop Mac from my girlfriend last year when she got a new one. We now live together and have our computers on the same network, and now MS Office complains that I don't have a license for this computer. Do I have any options other than buying a whole new MS Office license/package?

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me sort this problem ...
It's a excel + microsoft word document + mail merge to outlook email to 50 people.
I am trying to help someone out - this is is as it just as it was described to me:
Track changes were accepted and turned off and the email looked as it should - so off went 50 customized emails.
..unfortunately the sent email then shows that all the emails are sent showing all of the tracked change revision markings!
Sorry if this is too vague. Thanks for your efforts :)

How best to ensure consistency of output whilst using MS Office?
As part of my role as a maths teacher I create (design) worksheets and presentations for my class. I spend a fair bit of time making sure things are consistent (e.g. Space for Name, Class), Header here etc. There must be a better way, using Forms? Templates? Themes? Can you suggest one, and some tutorials in how to best use. Thank you.

I've been thinking about plunking down the cash to buy a licensed copy of MS Office (or Office XP, or Office 2003, etc.) for my new laptop. Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't just run Openoffice instead? From what I've read, it appears that I can "save as" most MS formats with it. Any firsthand experience?

Does anyone know of a program that will display metadata from Microsoft Office files (such as revisions from Autosave, track changes, etc.)? My searching has documented the range of metadata that is available and I have located numerous programs for removing the data, but nothing that will allow me to retrieve the data easily. I am looking for something a little more advanced than Notepad.
