Office Updates

[Rick]

My old computer finally died.... and I was running windows
98 with office 95. I have purchased a new machine with
windows XP and installed Office Professional 95. Can I
just purchase the Office XP update and let it update my
current version?

Thanks,

Rick

No, Office XP upgrades require Office 97 or 2000. Office 2003 may be more
lenient.

Don't get the guy's hopes up, Mill, Office 95 isn't a QP for 2003, either.

Thanks for your help! Looks like I get to
start over again....
