Office upgrade

[Gene Stickley]

I have Word, Excel, FrontPage but need a good
prospecting/mailing list approach. I believe that I can
get the full office complement by installing the current
Office upgrade. I was quoted $354 which would give me
Outlook (for prospect/contact/mailing, etc.) as well as
Power Point and other Office features. Have I gotten the
story right?

No. The only qualifying products for Office XP are Office 97 or Office 2000.

BTW. $354.99 is the Amazon.com price for Office XP Standard {non upgrade
version}. IMO, you should check the above link to compare what application
are in each edition of Office XP to ensure that Office XP Standard includes
those you need. Also, if you choose to install Office XP, I would uninstall
Word and Excel first {suggestion only}.
