I bought a copy of Office 2007 about a year ago on eBay, and am starting to suspect that it is not a legitimate copy. I noticed today that the company name for all the documents I've created since last year is Grizli777, which apparently is one potential indication of a pirated copy. My questions are:
1.) Is there a way to confirm for certain that my copy of Office 2007 is counterfeit? I don't have the CD or packaging on hand, unfortunately.
2.) If I were to buy a genuine copy of Office and uninstall what I have now, would there then be any issue opening the documents that I've created in the last year using the (supposedly) pirated copy?
I appreciate any help at all, and feel free to let me know if any other details would be helpful.
