Re: upgrading Me to XP Pro compatibitiy questions



Office XP was releeased in early summer 2001, so calling it Office 2002 is a
misnomer. Individual suites, e.g. Word, Excel, etc that were purchased then,
were called by their respective names with 2002 added after them. Office XP
is not Office 2002, nor is there such an Office bundle ever made by MS.

Any upgrade run the risk of something going wrong, so make a backup of any
important files.
Office 2000 should work as it was the major office package as XP was being
developed and later released. I'm using Office XP (office 2002) without
any problems.

Have HP Pav 7920 sold as XP ready.
Unit came with Me, I installed Office 2000 (Word, Excel, Outlook, Access,
Powerpoint), Acrobat 5.0, Calyx Point, and various credit and mortgage
lender
interfaces. Removed McAfee and later Norton in favor of CA seecurity
programs.

ME support terminiated.

Want to upgrade to XP Pro and preserve existing data bases in Point and
Access plus files in My Doc etc.

Question #1. Can I upgrade from Me to XP Pro with detroying my files?

Question # 2. Will Office 2000 work on XP Pro or do I have to upgrade to
Office 2003 Pro?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions,
bobkeeler41@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
