Office 2003 to Office 2007
Thanks JoAnn.
We are a privately owned company and I'm in charge of the IT department. Anything the owner, and the key officers of the company, want for their home (and kids') computer, they come to the IT department. My boss's son's professor is asking the students to get Office 2007. My boss is ordering the Office 2007 Ultimate! Only the computer related stuffs for them. No coffee! "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... If it's a full version, he can uninstall 2003 if he wants. If it's an upgrade, he can leave it installed. (I'd make a comment about the fact that you are asking this and not your boss but I do things for my boss that are somewhat outside of my scope of responsibilities. I don't do coffee - period.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "C C" wrote in message ... Hello. The son of my boss is in college. His laptop has Office Pro 2003. He wants to upgrade to Office Student 2007. Does he need to un-install the 2003 first or can he install the Office Student 2007 over it. Thanks in advance.

Office 2003 to Office 2007
The Office installation program will give you the option to keep or remove
the old version. If you keep the old version there can be problems but there are KB articles http://support.microsoft.com/kb that tell how to address these. It is "supported" but not "recommended" to have multiple versions of Office on the same computer. Talk to the student and ask what he wants you to do first. Cheers, Earle "C C" wrote in message ...

Office 2003 to Office 2007
Thanks. I'll ask him to un-install 2003 and install 2007. He can find his
way to access his documents after the 2007 is installed. "Earle Horton" wrote in message ... The Office installation program will give you the option to keep or remove the old version.

Office 2003 to Office 2007
BTW - only one version of Outlook can be installed. If he leaves Outlook
2003 installed, Outlook 2007 will not be installed. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "C C" wrote in message ... Thanks.

Office 2003 to Office 2007
Thanks.
I told my boss to tell his son to un-install 2003 completely, first, before installing 2007. This way he won't bother me at night or during the weekend when his son (away in college) gets the 2007. We'll see. "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... BTW - only one version of Outlook can be installed.

Probably the best choice. May you have many sleep-filled nights and restful
weekends. :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "C C" wrote in message ... Thanks.
