Can I upgrade Publisher 2007 from academic version

[Nicki]

Hello, I am creating a free website & was advised I could purchase the
academic version. Now, the links & information on other pages on my home
page isn't working. Would this be a limitation of the academic version?
Do I need to either buy the full version, or upgrade?

I don't think that there is any difference in the functionality of the
academic version. I think the limitation is the academic cannot be upgraded
or something. Your problem probably has nothing to do with the version you
are using.

Post a link to the page(s) where you are having the problems and describe
more fully and specifically what problems you are having.

Tell us what browser you are using and what version.

The Academic version is a full version except it cannot be upgraded.

Hi:

I got my academic, full-release version by having enrolled in Northampton
Community College, PA, and my student e-mail account verified this to
digitalriver.com, the company that offered me the 90% reduced price.

Office 2007 Ultimate, normally about $700, cost me around $70. Another
discount was direct from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 ($135). Adobe.com asked for a
photocopy of my admission letter from college, which I E-Mailed, and an hour
later I was confirmed; Adobe automatically sent me the hard copy edition one
would encounter at a brick and mortar outlet.

Office 2007 downloaded as a single file, opened with a key code. Good thing
I backed up that file on a CD-R, because the disc I requested through the
mail was non-operational except for an app. that didn't D/L (MS Access or
maybe it is an accounting add-on). I love Office, use it every day, but
mostly Word ... I need to do the other tutorials ... those are the "Get
Started" add-ons, tabs that appeared on the ribbon up top, and connect to the
MS learning center videos (without expense).

Publisher is a headache; I recommend MS Visual Studio/Web Developer Express.
It's free and includes MySQL, a database/analyzer necessary for utilizing
Wordpress.org's self-hosting blog software, also free [from WP.]

Enjoy,
Pete Mauss

Usually such upgrades are easy if the user faithfully used Windows update to
ready the previous program for a new release version.

I've updated my 2007 Office Ultimate numerous times with Windows update
service. It nows houses SP2, in addition to "Get Started" tabs (new), Adobe,
Lexmark and WestLaw add-on toolbars, managed in options like IE; allot of
security updates as well.

Usually upgrades (Office 2010-Beta) aren't available for several years
anyways, so it's impossible to tell until then whether owning 2007 will
entitle one to an Office 2010 upgrade discount. I'm wagering it does, based

Academic versions are not upgradeable.
