I want price on academic upgrade from office 97 to 2003 with acce.

Hopefully this is to MS itself and not a random discussion group. If it is
not to MS then why did the opportunity to question them about difficulty get
me to this page???

I went to the USA site - they sent me to Canada

iF YOUR SITE OFFERS PRICING IT IS NOT EASY TO FIND LIKE I FOUND USA PRICES

I bought a new HP computer and it has sample office 2003 installed for 30
day trial

1) I have not tried it in case price is more then I want to pay and my
existing Office 97 won't be able to read new files I do in 2003

2) I am distressed as I looked at all sorts of links at MS Canada to
technical answers to office products and did not see Cdn pricing.

Maybe I'm blind. Maybe I am just dumb. If I am correct about difficulty to
find pricing you can license me for free for pointing out this weakness in
your Cdn web site??? Or am I just dumb and blind and can't see an obvious
thing? (PS I really am blind in one eye - makes it tough to see who is
throwing chalk at you.)

For the record I teach part time at SAIT in the HVAC trades course, paid for
a bit - mostly donated time to assist people entering into our trade.

Incidently - my compliments on XP. It is the first stable system I have had
from you. All my previous systems crashed within 4 months max. XP has over a
year trouble free on two desktops - I insisted this laptop had to come with
it or no sale! Thanks. (PS I just installed SP2 - hope it remains stable!)

This is not to MS, this is a discussion group for issues pertaining to using
the office update feature for updating office components with service packs,
hotfixes, etc.

MS is www.microsoft.com

Well it's not exactly a *random* discussion group...

An academic upgrade is not available for *any* version of any software from

You must buy a new package.
Academic prices to date have remained well below the price of a non-academic
version update.
I paid $80.00 for the last version of Office Pro I qualified for.

A Google search on "microsoft academic" yields over 3 million hits and many
deal with sitesd that sell the product.

Most people that in fact qualify for such a price know this or they buy it
at their bookstore with their student or facilty ID
