microsoft word on macbook

[Mugs]

I was given office 2008 on on a copied disk by a friend and i have been working on it all day using word. I then closed the document i was working on and then i was asked if i wanted to save, however then the options were in a foreign language, something like japanese or chinese or korean. I then selected the one which was highlighted and then it closed, i then tried to re open word later on and i get this message.......

When i click relaunch the same message re appears this happens continuously!!
i really need advice
thanks

I think it is trying to telling you to buy your own legitimate copy.

hmmm

yer me too but i need it asap and i cant do anything, i need a temporary option!

A permanent and legitimate option: http://www.openoffice.org/

Or, spend your money with Apple and try the trial version of iWork. Or better yet, learn to use LaTeX and dump WYSIWG word processors permanently. Good luck.

As another said, try out iWork

Or buy an actual version of Office

Actually a mod sorted this out. Its not a violation to talk about it, but to help with the act isn't allowed.

OP, go openoffice short term, you might just stick with it.
