Purchased the wrong thing

[bonnylass757]

I know that this may sound trivial, but I purchased the upgrade
version of Microcoft Office 2004 instead of the Full version.
Apparently i need an earlier version of office to run the newer
version because it is an upgrade. My question is where can i find a
cheap older version so that i can finally use my newer officer 2004
for mac? i've asked the local stores and nobody carries it.
Please help.

Try eBay.

Office 98, Office 2001, and Office X will all qualify. You don't need
to install the older program--just use the drag and drop installer and
when it asks you to point at a qualifying version, insert the old CD
into the disk drive and point there.

But an exchange would simplify your life overall.
