Is it true that if you have office 2002 that you can not upgrade,
you must purchase a complete new version?
If that is true, should I purchase 2003 or XP.
I am using XP OS.

cindiesue,
You may be confused with the Windows version. Office 2003 will only run
under Windows XP or Windows 2000 sp3 or later.
Office 2002 and Office XP are the same version. Office 2003 is the latest
release.
You should be able to upgrade easily to 2003 from XP.

Chris,
While lI have your attention, is it posible you could help several of
outlook users about the problems with sending attachments that get hung up
while sending and
they sends the receiver 15 copies. If you 'search' for 'attachments' you
will find several long threads discussing this very issue. Thx

This is usually caused by an AV product that is set to scan
incoming/outgoing mail and causes the hang. Try unchecking this option
(useless anyway since the AV will scan upon opening) and see if the
situation improves.

You know, Milly, I thought you saved my life on this one.
But I went to my AV and my scanning outgoing mail was disabled.
Any better thoughts on this issue that is creating much trouble for alot
and we are totally baffled, as well as many IT people.
