How to install Office2003 and retain XP?
I have some questions/concerns on downloading the above listed trial
software. I currently have XP but Corel products on my personal PC. Quattro
Pro, Wordperfect, and Presentation are the alternative products to the
preferred MS products. I purchased the Corel alternative software due to the
price being less than half MS. Most of my work as a Controller in higher
education has been in Excel. Since Corel WP12 has an Excel mode feature and
up until now, the vast majority of Excel functions have been lavailable in
Corel's converted "Excel" mode, it has been adequate for my needs. However, I
plan more advanced analysis and reporting using templates, macros, analysis
tools, Visual Basic, etc., none of which will convert or work in Corel's
product. Word and Powerpoint also have unsupported functions.
I want to try the 60 day trial Standard Office 2003 version and see if the
additional benefits will be worth the significantly added expense. My
questions/concerns:
1. Is it possible to download the 2003 Office software without removing or
replacing my XP? Or how do I check to verify it will add Office 2003 without
replacing my XP and Corel? Also, I use Outlook Express as part of my XP
package. Will that be removed or is there a way to ensure that program is
retained as well?
2. Is it possible to install the trial software for only Excel, Word, and
Powerpoint separately? If so, would that be safer to install these programs
separately?
3. What features or functions are not provided for in this trial version
that would be if purchased at the end of the 60 day trial period?
Please advise so I can proceed ASAP.
Thanks.
