How to add PowerPoint to an Office Basic installation

[Steve Conover]

Setting up a new computer. I mistakenly purchased it with Office Basic
installed, but I also need PowerPoint (not included in Basic). I also
own a copy of Office Home and Student.

Can I install PowerPoint only (from the H&S disks)? [I'd like to do it
that way instead of uninstalling Basic and then doing a full install
of J&S.]

Thanks,
Steve

Yes, you can do a custom install to add only PP from H&S, but I tend to find
that the Office programs work best when the full suite is used, rather than
bits and pieces of difference SKUs.
