Your right that Publisher is in SBE, not Pro. It is even on a separate disc,
so it is particularly surprising that I can't load it. Unfortunatlely,
Office was the first thing I installed after formatting the drive and
installing windows, so I doubt that I will be able to find an earlier system
restore point. The only reason I don't install the whole lot is to avoid
office toolbar and similar annoyances,

oem?

EULA?

Thanks

Gary
