loading Access when I already have a 2007 student Office pkg loade

[Bug]

I already have Office 2007, Student Version, on my computer but I need to
purchase another version to get Access for a course (too expensive tobuy the
single program Access). Can I load the new Office package directly over the
current one? Will I have duplicates of Excel, PPT, and Word 2007? I have
documents in all of these current programs. Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, you don't have documents in any program: your documents are files that
are opened with the program. If you do a custom installation of Office, you
can choose to install as much or as little as you like.

You can choose which program to install.
Your documents will not be affected at all by installing a new version of the
program. The program is one file in its own folder, the documents are
different files in a different folder.

Thank you so much for your patience with a novice!

Thank you! One more question please: if I purchase the Ultimate Office, can
I download those other programs on another computer? I'm thinking of getting
a new laptop and loading the new Excel, Word and PPT on it; can I split the
package between computers?

I'd suggest reading the EULA carefully. I think you could, but I am not an
attorney and I don't work for Microsoft, and cannot speak for them.

Doesn't look like it. See these FAQs.

However, if you have a retail package, you can install the lot on one
main device (desktop or portable) and one portable.
