Is there a trial version available? It doesn't seem to be listed in any of
the suites available for download now.

Are you looking for SPD to work on a website or a SharePoint site?

Hi Melissa,

At present there isn't a Sharepoint Designer 2007 trial edition.

After Office 2003 the MS Web authoring products split into a number of other products, with MS Office Frontpage giving way to two

MS Office Sharepoint Designer 2007
http://office.microsoft.com/sharepointdesigner
for working with MS Office Sharepoint websites

and

MS Expression Web (Designer)
http://microsoft.com/expression
for general web site design. MS Expression Web is a released product now and it does have a trial edition download available from
that site, along with the other three MS Expression design products.

yeah, this is frustrating. I feel like a salmon swimming upstream with a
piano tied to his back.

At present there isn't a trial edition of MS Office Sharepoint Designer 2007. Its sibling, MS Expression Web (for 'regular' web
pages) does have a trial edition available

Do you know if SharePoint Designer 2007 is available for purchase? We are
trying to upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 but we can't edit our pages.

The Office 2007 retail products aren't scheduled to be in stores until late January 2007. If you have a MS Volume License you can
obtain the product now.

MS Open volume licenses start with a 5 product [not all have to be Office] license purchase. http://microsoft.com/licenses

Both

I understand I can use Expressions for regular old FP sites which I still
have a few on on our intranet but mostly we've moved everyone to a SP site.

if you upgrade to WSS 3.0 you can't edit without Sharepoint Designer which is
not yet available unless you have volume licensing. Is this true?
