I want to buy Office Pro XP. I have Windows XP home edition service pack 2.
Will I be able to load office pro xp?

Windows XP (Home or Pro) can run darned near any of the Office versions. I
have an old copy of Office for Windows 95 and I'm tempted but the last thing
I need is a third version of Office on my system. :)

I have Office 95 - Office 2003 installed on Windows XP along with Word
2 and Word 6. :)

Aside from creating a dummy Share.exe for Word 6 (which I knew I
needed to do prior to installing) they all installed and operate
without any problems.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Want my copy of Office 2.0? Warning, you'll need a 3.5" floppy drive
to install it.... ;-)

I am old school - I still have a floppy drive and will for years to come.

Dang it, I thought you would! I never installed it and don't know what
it is or how it works but it's got me curious. It's probably a
precursor of Microsoft Mail/News which was the precursor of Outlook
Express?

Hmmm... I hold in my hand the User's Guide! Apparently it's a very
early version of Outlook.
