Windows 10: Probs opening docs

Hi all,

I have an issue that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with.

I have recently purchase a new laptop with Win 10 installed and I want to use Office 7 for which I have my original disc and activation code.

I have installed it with no problems but when I want to open a document it always opens with 'Word Unlicensed Product - Compatibility Mode' and a pop up box appears asking me to verify my MS account and asking if I want to 'try, buy or activate Office with this account'. I haven't activated the account because I don't want to use it.

If I open Word 07 from the menu and open a document from within the program, it opens okay but when I click on a document in a folder it just opens in the free version.
I have tried adjusting the compatibilty mode but it only gives me options up to Win 8 and when I use the compatibilty troubleshooter it says it's running in compatibilty mode for Win 8 and that the problem is fixed. But it's not.

When I right click on the doc and choose 'open with', Office 7 isn't listed as an option.

I chose Picture manager for my photos and that opens pics directly from the folder and works perfectly.

Will activating the free version help with the problem? If not, can anyone throw any light please.

TIA

:)

 

Incopatability with Google Docs

Hi Ba,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I am sorry to know that Google Docs print option not working as expected.

Try with a different browser and check if it works.

It could be a browser or browser's settings issue.

I suggest you to run the Printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• 
  In Search window type Troubleshooting and click on it to open it.
  
• 
  Click on Hardware and Sound.
  
• 
  Then click on Printer to run the troubleshooter. Follow onscreen steps.
  

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
