Can't talk long, must find way to get ahold of MS Word without paying for it. Please message me if you have any ideas...

EDIT: With the help of white_jenna, problem resolved. Well, one problem resolved, anyway. Just so you guys know, I'm around, but if you don't see me too much for a little while it's because I'm in the process of reformatting a 230,000 word book. For the eighth time. Don't pity me, it's my own idiocy's fault. And I don't mean Zack this time.

Zack: "Hey!"

Would it make you feel better if I let you leak a spoiler for the in-progress fic?

Zack: "What's to spoil? Angeal's all angsty, again, Genesis is after my goodies, again, and everyone is trying to grope me. Can I please be tiny and pixellated again?"

So you don't want to spoil?

Zack: "Um, you've got Seph boffing both Genesis and Lazard?"

I do. I sooooo do. :)

Got bittorrent?

Unfortunately I don't know how to use torrents, or even what they are...
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 05:54 pm (UTC)
What I use instead, with no problems: http://www.openoffice.org/

Thank you, I've heard that one's good...alas, literary agents seem to be very attached to MS Word specifically. *kicks MS Word* You know, I wouldn't even be bothered by this, if the supposedly sixty-day trial had actually lasted more than two days!

*sneaks away to fret*

You can open word documents in it, and save them as word docs as well.

Seriously? Oh, I LOVE you. *glomps, bounces off, leaving nude Sephy plushie behind*

It's very easy to use, you can find almost anything on bittorrent.

Here's a really good guide on it: http://lifehacker.com/software/ultranewb/a-beginners-guide-to-bittorrent-285489.php

I was going to say use OpenOffice, but white_jenna beat me to it.

It's worth it. The program works pretty much exactly like word and it's free!

Thank you too. Whew, what a relief...

Thank you.

If you already have a way to install at least the trial of word 2007, I believe I still have a code that I will never use since I am now on a mac. So I have the license thing...a legit one, since I paid for the copy of Word, and if I can find the box I will totally get it for ya!

If stuff doesn't work out, I may have some CDs of slightly oldish MS Word floating around from the last office upgrade. Lord knows we upgrade often enough around here.

Woo hoo!!!!!!! :D

Open Office is made of win XD

OMG more FFVII fic. from you coming? I am so excited! Whenwhenwhen?

Comment two on the update.

OH GOD, I WANT TO READ THAT NOW! Pfft. Sephiroth is such a player. When do you expect to get the first chapter posted? :D

Mydnyt here from ff.net. Yes, I actually joined LJ just to say hi to you here. *grins* Can't wait for your next fic! Haha, Zack, doesn't seem to happy about it...

I hate Microsoft Word 2007. >>U A lot of my files are stored on the old version... and we refuse to change over to the new format. XD

Sadly, my work has changed to the new format. ><# I don't like it.

Good luck on converting all of them.

:) Thank you.
Friday, March 6th, 2009 05:13 pm (UTC)
You did join! Hi!

Eh, Zack's always like that. If he was ever cooperative, I'd die of shock...
Friday, March 6th, 2009 05:16 pm (UTC)
Hmm, hard to say. I'm about to start chapter...11, I think? I want to be done with at least 15 before I start posting, but it also depends on how confident I am about how the fic will progress. It will be sooner than I expected, though, I had first thought it would be months from now.
Friday, March 6th, 2009 05:17 pm (UTC)
ASAP, of course. :) Once I get five or so more chapters written, maybe I can start posting.
Friday, March 6th, 2009 05:22 pm (UTC)
I think it's okay now. But thank you! *hugs*
Friday, March 6th, 2009 05:23 pm (UTC)
*squeeze* Thanks, Staci-Pants, but I think I'm good now. Open Office seems to be working, thank Gaia.

Have a good weekend then!

Oh good, glad it's working for you. :) It randomly crashed on me a couple days ago, but that's the first time that's happened, and I've been using it for about a year.
And OMG cannot wait to read that fic. :D

Genesis AND Lazard? Holy....

Please put up the first chapter soon! *begs*
