Office 2007 Home \ Student - Upgrading to...

[rhodesmk]

I currently have Office 2003 Professional Suite on my pc, but only because
compan I worked for had a contract with Microsoft which allowed employees to
install it on their PC. Now that I've changed jobs, I have ordered the
Office 2007 Home/Student version, which does NOT come with Outlook. I will
also order Outlook in about a month, after another payday.

When I install Office 2007, which ONLY has Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, I
understand it will remove Office 2003, but will it remove ALL of 2003, or
only the corresponding programs?

I would like to keep using Outlook 2003 for my email for a couple more weeks
until I can get Outlook 2007 ordered and delivered, so should I wait to
install the suite until then or will I be ok installing it now, then adding
Outlook 2007 later...in other words, will I lose my current version of
Outlook 2003? (In case you wondered...buying the suite and Outlook
seperately is cheaper than buying the full-blown 2007 professional version,
and the only programs I EVER use are the ones on the home/student version
plus Outlook.)

Thanks,

Hi M.K.,

You can use the 'custom install' choice in Office 2007 to select which Office 2003 portions to keep, remove. Note that Word 2007
and Office 2003 do not work together as 'editor for Outlook'.

In ordering Outlook 2007 if you're planning on using Office 2007 on 3 computers there is, as I understand it, an often hard to
locate, Outlook 2007 matching license to the Home & Student edition.

Thanks for the info. I do plan to use Office on three PC's, but Outlook only
on one (no one else in the house likes it). Your answer makes me feel much
better about installing my new office suite now, and it was delivered today,
after I posted my message.

Thanks again,
