Installing new license w/Old settings.

[johnnyriss]

Greetings,

A while back, I left a job in which I used MS Office on my Powerbook.
So the Office license on my computer was registered to that company. I
then purchased my own copy of Office X. Anyone out there know how I
can install the new Office license while retaining all my emails,
contacts, notes, settings, etc from the old Office license?

Then, I'm going to install the free upgrade to Office 2004 that came
with my copy of Office X.

Thanks in advance.

Your emails, contacts, and notes are safe in the Microsoft User Data
folder, and any preferences you want to save are in the

~:Libraryreferences:Microsoft

folder, where ~ is your home directory.

The technique found here

will allow you to enter your new license key without changing any
settings.
