[QUOTE="davidkent, post: 1888198, member: 408255"] (1)Sorry about confusion. I should have said that listed under "Purchased" programs in my "Account" there were some programs I had: (a)downloaded and were definitely shown as free; *and* (b)downloaded (in error) and not purchased: in this case it was Word. After downloading it, I saw it was a trial/limited version, and I did nothing further. I certainly did not opt to buy a full version, but my "account" shows this (and others I downloaded (that were free)) as being "Purchased". I am therefore grateful to Slydude above for pointing out that free programs are listed as "Purchased". At least this resolves the query! However, referring to programs which are free and those which are trial versions and the full version is not purchased, as "Purchased" is misleading (and worrying!) (2)On seeing that Word, which I knew I had not bought was listed under "Purchased", I clicked on it to see if I could ascertain any information about the supposed purchase, but it started to download again! I looked for a way to stop this, but there didn't seem to be anything available to do this. With Windows, a download can be monitored, stalled and/or cancelled, but with the programs listed on the Mac under "Account" and "Purchase", I cannot see any way to cancel a download wrongly initiated?
