Can I Upgrade from Standard Office 2002 to Small Business Edition.

[jennypenny]

I currently run the Standard Office 2002 Edition and Publisher 2002. I would
liek to upgrade to the Small Business Edition of Office 2003 because the
package with Publisher will save me money. But can I do that? Or is my only
option to buy the Small Business Edition at full price (non-upgrade version)?

Office XP is a qualifying product for Office 2003 any version upgrade CD.

Just to clarify then, for the non-techie in me:
I am running Windows XP, so I am able to upgrade from Standard Office 2002
to Small BUsiness Edition 2003? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Jenny,

Yes. Anyl upgrade package you choose of an
Office 2003 Edition on
http://microsoft.com/office/howtobuy
will recognize any retail/OEM Office XP/2002 edition of Office.
You don't have to match Standard to Standard.
