Can I buy upgrade for works to get office etc

[Guest]

I was told by a local retailer that if I have a recent
version of works all I need to do to get excel or office
it to buy the upgrade. Is this true?

Most newer versions of Works and Works Suite are qualifying products for
upgrade to Office 2003. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832288
"Products that qualify for the Office 2003 upgrade" for details.
