Academic edition > Full edition
Someone who's been using the Academic edition of Office XP
is moving on to a full version of Office. I know she has to buy the full version (not the upgrade) but does she have to uninstall the Academic edition first or will the full version install over it? The versions will be different: Academic 2002; Full 2003. The reason for wanting to install OVER the existing installation is to preserve all the laboriously built-up personalized settings (templates, autocorrects, personal dictionaries, etc). Or would the Save Office Settings wizard be able to cope with this? I've used the wizard to recover my own settings when I had to reinstall Office XP on my own system. Would it work between versions? (I suppose Office 2003 has a similar feature?) -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

There is no difference between an academic and the full retail version - the academic isn't crippled in any way. The academic version isn't crippled in anyway - it even has the same EULA (as I understand it). So, she's wasting her money. |

And yes you can install over XP and keep the settings. |
