I'm sorry, but i am really inept and having a hard time getting to know Win8.
I just purchased a new laptop which came with a free 30 day trial of Microsoft Office. I had intended to set my laptop up with 2 users - both me, but one for work and one for personal.
So what i did was accidentally install the Office trial on my work log on, when i meant to install it on my personal user account. I realised what i did and uninstalled it and then tried to reinstall it on my personal user account - but the computer only seems to recognise it on the primary user account (both are adminstrator level accounts, but the 'apps' only show up when i log on with the account i created first (even though i re-installed it on the secondary log on).
I'm really not sure if this is a Win8 problem, all i really know is that if i log on with what I intended to be my work user logon - the Office apps show up, albeit with my personal email account, etc. If i log on to my personal user account, which is where i wanted to run the trial, none of the Office apps show up and I can only use Office through the browser.
Although I originally mistakenly installed Office 365 in my personal user account, i downloaded the 'fix it' app and beleived that i had uninstalled it from 'User 1' and then reinstalled it under 'User 2' but the computer isnt behaving that way... In any event i'm really not sure why i couldn't use the same 365 install given it's the same computer (i.e. why don't the Office apps show up on the User 2 start page?)...
I'm so confused... Could anyone please tell me how i fix this??? I don't want my personal accounts linked with my other logon as that's supposed to be for work only. Now they're all mixed up and i need to fix it so i can join my work's Office account on what was supposed to be the work 'user' account...
