Do I need to install works 2006?

[lah11]

I had to reinstall word 2003 from Dell. Then they also sent me works suite
2006, do I need to install works or is Word 2003 enough? I am not sure if
works 2006 is an upgrade from word 2003? Thanks any help so appreciated

Works 2006 only has Word 2002 so it is not an upgrade.
Have a look here for the contents.

Works contains word 2003 but also has other items in it. Intsall it
only if you need/want the other items. You might end up with 2 copies
of Word installed on your computer if you Install works after installing
word. Installation of both is superfluous at least as far as Word is
concerned.
