how to open plastic packaging? Geek Freek 4/15/2007 11:24:01 PM am I the only person who can't figure out how to open the plastic packaging/case that MS Office 2007 comes in? I tried pinching the two inset tabs but nothing happened. the package looks like its hinged there is a clear plastic sticker over the genuin MS product label so I'm afraid to peel that off because I don't know if it ruins the genuine label. oh well, I try some more, don't want to wait for an answer...

Geek Freek 4/15/2007 11:42:02 PM I didn't see a way to update or edit my original question so I'm replying to my own question - as it turns out I just had to cut that clear plastic (round) sticker at the edges and then pull on the red tag and it opens/pivots out didn't even break a nail :-) Geek Freek "Geek Freek" wrote: [Quoted Text] > am I the only person who can't figure out how to open the plastic > packaging/case that MS Office 2007 comes in? > > I tried pinching the two inset tabs but nothing happened. > > the package looks like its hinged > > there is a clear plastic sticker over the genuin MS product label > so I'm afraid to peel that off because I don't know if it > ruins the genuine label. > > oh well, I try some more, don't want to wait for an answer... > > Geek Freek

Re: how to open plastic packaging? debapple 6/12/2007 5:01:02 PM It seems like a huge waste of plastic to me; is the box at least recyclable?
