Having done all this, and selecting the Hebrew language, I expected miraculous results - which were not forthcoming.
Doing so, I was told, would allow me to not only read, but also edit and copy-and-paste the Office Word 2003 documents.
So, I called my ISP's help desk, and received the helpful advice to download the free Open Office 2.3 package, which I did.all 124MB of it. Buggers, I thought to myself upon realizing what had happened. I found that almost all the files I had created with some Microsoft word processor (Works, primarily, plus something else not equivalent to and not as powerful as Word) since the Word 2003 free trial had expired were now converted to Word 2003 files - as such, I could only read them, not edit them or even copy-and-paste them. I regretfully declined, and canceled the process. At a certain point in the process, the "system" making the offer finally recognized me as someone who had already had such a free trial, and it instead told me I'd have to pay in order to have the use of Office Word 2003. I thought to myself, "That's odd but very generous", and so I proceeded to attempt to "apply" for that free trial. It so happens that, a couple of days ago, I had a pop-up or something rear its ugly head in full view on my screen, offering me a 60-day Free Trial of Microsoft Office Word 2003. Even so, I have still been able to read, edit, and copy-and-paste files I had created which contained Hebrew and/or Greek script.
I'm not sure where to begin, so I'll start with the fact that my 60-day Free Trial of Microsoft Office Word 2003 ended in April of 2006. Prepare for a tale of woe unlike any other, I hope.
