Re: Upgrading from MO 2000 Small Business to Microsoft Office 2007


Hello Bob.

Thank you for responding to my questions and for doing so quickly. I will
follow your instructions and repost if I have any problems.

Have a great day.

Hi Shin Lee Lee,

You can purchase an upgrade edition of Office 2007 and use the Office 2000 edition you have as the qualifying product for the
upgrade
http://office.microsoft.com/suites

The file associations for Word, Excel and other file types that were inherited by Office 2007 when installed wouldn't automatically
change to Office 2000 when the trial ends. The trial copy becomes a very large 'viewer' for files once the trial ends.

You can uninstall the trial edition, restart the PC and do a repair/reinstall of Office 2000.

If you have not already installed the Office 2007 compatibility pack from
http://microsoft.com/downloads to let you open Office 2007 formatted files when you are in Office 2000 apps, you may wish to do
so.

The trial period for Microsoft Office 2007 that was pre-installed on my new
laptop has recently ended.

Before running the trial MO 2007 I had installed Microsoft Office 2000 from
my old PC to the new laptop. Therefore, both programs are installed on the
new laptop.

Q1: Is it possible to upgrade from the older MO 2000 Small Business to
Microsoft Office 2007?

Q2: Why are documents that were created in MO Word 2000 automatically
opening in MO Word 200, and, therefore, is read only? This has occurred
since the trial period has ended .

Thank you . >>
