Re: Office 2003 XP with Vista Operating System

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



JoAnn -

Apparently there are quite a few novice out there - I recently purchased a
new laptop that has Vista as the operating system and own a copy of Windows
XP (2002) - Can I load it on the laptop and not upgrade to 2007? Most of my
files are in Windows XP and I am afraid I might lose some of them?

Cheers - Terri D.

First, you need to know: It's either Office XP (aka 2002) or it's Office
2003.

Second, you don't need to install the older version before the newer one.
Start the installation of 2007. When it asks for the application, insert the
older version CD and point to it. (I'm hoping you're not so much of an
amateur that you literally point your finger to it. ;-) )

Hello,
I purchased a new computer with the Vista Operating System and I hope
someone out there can advise me if it's possible to load Office 2003XP
with a
Office 2007 Upgrade without difficulty and if so, how? I don't want to
purchase a brand new Office Suite if I don't absolutely have to. Can you
load 2003 Office XP and then load the 2007 Office Upgrade?

I am an amateur at this so be gentle! :-)
