 Thanks for answering, Milly ... however, outlook.pst is not going to
 preserve my email account information (servers, connections, userIDs,
 passwords, etc) ... that's the kind of thing I'm trying to figure out if
 Office 2003 is going to inspect, preserve and restore when it installs;  I'm
 also wondering if it will do the same for other preferences ... like default
 document directory for Word, Excel ..

    |   Replacement CDs for OEM MS Office XP     Posted: 02 May 2004 05:51 PM PDT Computers have insurance. MS has a replacement policy ifyou purchase the software from anyone but the
 manufacturer. Point is, why pay full price for software
 from a vendor, Dell et.al., when you can purchase the
 same from anywhere else and receive the assurance that
 your CDs can be replaced. Dell doesn't tell you that when
 you purchase your software in good faith.

    |   Install Office 2000 on XP     Posted: 02 May 2004 10:28 AM PDT If you Office came with yr sys, as an OEM copy then I'm afraid licence istied to origonal sys and is not transferable. - It may even be that the OEM
 supplier has configured the install to prevent it installing on anything
 other than origonal.
 Or it may be simply a question of you entering the wrong key or missreading
 it.

    |   Problem with EULA popup window     Posted: 30 Apr 2004 07:58 AM PDT Hi James,
 Besides Gyorgy's suggestion, I would suggest you have a check to see
 whether the new machine has other version Office installed.
 
 In addition, please find the registry key
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0 and right-click and go to
 permissions, make sure that ADMINISTRATORS and SYSTEM had full control set
 to allow.
 
 Hope it helps.

    |   Must I download Office Service Pack?     Posted: 29 Apr 2004 01:40 PM PDT We recommend installation of service packs to ensure that your system stayssecure and to prevent crashes.  Users who have opted in to Microsoft "Error
 Reporting" send data to us about their crashes.  We then fix the bugs which
 cause crashes most often and push out these fixes in Service Packs.

    |   need your advice on this site?     Posted: 29 Apr 2004 06:54 AM PDT As it turns out, the list is a bit smaller for XP.
 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290540
 There are generally three rules for upgrading to Office XP:
 a.. Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are the only valid upgrade
 products for the Office XP suites. You cannot use the Academic Edition of
 Office 97 or Office 2000 as a qualifying product.
 b.. Office 97 stand-alone products and Office 2000 stand-alone products
 are valid upgrade products for the Office XP stand-alone products.*
 c.. Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are valid upgrade products for
 the Office XP stand-alone products only if the Office XP stand-alone product
 is included in the corresponding Office 97 suite or Office 2000 suite*.

    |   Office 2003 will not read past files?     Posted: 28 Apr 2004 08:45 AM PDT I just upgraded a windows XP/office 2000 computer to office 2003 and now any file I try to open is now unavailable/ could not be found, is there any eplanation for this or should I take 2003 off and leave 2000 on??

 I have the same problem with old Word files and get the following error when opening Excel files
 The file cannot be opened because your virus scanner has detected a problem with the file.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success
 
 Pet
 
 Have you tried opening each of the apps by using their icon. Do this first because a small install is run to
 create the hkey current user section of the registry.  then try double clicking the docs
 
 Mik
 
 I have tried that option, and no different still can't access my files.  I do also get the same error as the post above me with the Excel documents.  Then on top of it I get warning when I shut down Word that states changes have been made to the template normal and trys to make me save the changes.  Even though I have not touched a key, Any one have any other ideas??????????????

    |   First run of Office product     Posted: 28 Apr 2004 02:44 AM PDT Baker,
 Thank you very much,
 will go hunt out the ork as you suggest. thanks
 
 
 can download from the microsoft website.
 configured the way you want it, save the template then run
 the office custom installation wizard to pickup the
 template. this can be done from a cd or installation
 point. the custom install wizard (CIW) gives you heaps of
 options like dropping extra files into your install,
 setting custom directories, configuring outlook, lots of
 great stuff. It even saves stuff like changing macro
 security (because it's default set to block, not prompt).
