I bought this package at a retailer for $9.99. Attempting to install, I found that the installation instructions on the package do not indicate that the user should note an ID code on the disk before inserting it, and once the disk is in the drive you can't access it, So When the Installation software asked for an ID, I looked all over the packaging for the ID and couldn't find any. As a result I had to abort installation and take out the disk, where I finally found the ID. Then the ID would not work after repeated tries, and tech help had to send me an alternate, which finally worked. On the positive side, tech help responded promptly. However Office Suite did not adequately convert my MS Word 2003 file but created irremediable distortions. I bought the suite to convert this file to PDF. I looked up PDF in their help index and found only a reference to exporting an image to PDF. I looked in the file menu and found that in fact you can export text files to PDF. But since the file conversion from MS Word is faulty in the first place, I could not go ahead with the PDF export. Since the program won't convert Word files adequately and therefore I can't use the pdf export feature, this software is of no use to me. Of course I could have re-entered the entire Word file into the Office Suite word processor, but given the other problems I suspect the PDF conversion is probably primitive as well. This is a potentially good product at a very reasonable price, but it needs to go back to the drawing board before being released again. Comment (1) | Permalink | (Report this)
