Upgrade from SBE to Pro 2002

[Pat]

I purchased Office 2002 Pro to gain Powerpoint and Access . Can I install
just those features in the "Custom Install" onto my existing SBE version, or
do I have to uninstall SBE ( having to backup all data) , and then install
Pro.

Yes, you can. HOWEVER, you cannot install the other programs on a different
computer.

Hi Pat,

If you're edition of MS Office Small Business Edition is earlier than Office XP/2002 you can use an upgrade edition of MS Office
Professional XP/2002. If you have a full Office XP/2002 package (not an upgrade) generally, uninstalling the SBE then restarting
the PC then installing the Office XP/2002 Professional edition is recommended to help avoid future problems in applying product
updates.
