Installing Office Pro 2003 Student Version

[Rhonda]

Hi Everyone!

I am looking to install Office Pro 2003 Student Version on my home computer
that currently is using Windows XP Home Version (I think 2000 version). All
of my XP updates are current. Do I have to uninstall my current XP operating
system to install the Office Pro 2003 version or can I run them both? I
afraid of wiping out my hard drive if I install this Office version.

Thanks!

Rhonda,

You have some *serious* misunderstandings. Windows is your operating system.
All computers have one. Office, regardless of the edition is NOT an
operating system. It is a collection of programs that run on a computer.
Your computer can run without them. If you uninstall Windows, you are going
to have an unwieldy paperweight. Office 2003 will run on Windows XP.

And by the way, there is no such thing as "Office Pro 2003 Student Version".
You could have an academic version of Office 2003 Pro that you purchased
through your school or you could have Office 2003 Student and Teacher
Edition. Yes, there is a difference. Office Pro includes programs that the
STE doesn't. And if I recall correctly, neither version is eligible for an
upgrade.

JoAnn,

Thank you for the information. I really do appreciate you responding.
However, I am sorry that I am not a computer savvy person. I am not a
student of the IT Technology so I do not know how to ask a simple question.
Thanks again for the answer in an interesting tone and I will remove my
membership immediately for asking a serious misunderstanding question.

It was not meant in a mean tone. I wanted you to understand the differences
in terminology. Misphrasing something can make a difference in whether or
not a solution will work for you. Please consider this a mini-computer
lesson, not a holier than thou response.
