New Computer Office 97 on Old computer upgrade to Office XP

[Erby Crofutt]

I have a beat up old (5 years) laptop with Office 97 on
it.

I've now purchased a new computer.

I want to install Office XP on the new computer but want
to use the upgrade version rather than pay the full
purchase price like I did for the Office 97 residing on
the old laptop.

How do I get the upgrade version to recognize that I do
in fact own the old Office 97 version. It's just on a
different computer that will no longer be used.

All you need to do to quaify to use the upgrade version of Office XP is to
"show" the 97 media during the install when asked. Then, take out the 97 CD
and put back in the upgrade XP CD and continue on.
