Microsoft Photo Editor

This is not available as a download from Microsoft, so how can I obtain it?
Thank you all!

If you don't already have a version of Office that includes it, you might be
able to buy a remaindered copy of a version of Office that includes
PhotoEditor (Office XP or earlier). At the moment, I see Office XP for as
low as $79 here:

I recently switched from Office 97 to 2003 and didn't, until just now,
realize I didn't have Microsoft Photo Editor. I still have the 97 CD.
What is the procedure for installing just the photo editor from it? I'm
a little reluctant to just run setup from it without knowing exactly
what I am doing for fear of messing up the 2003 set up which seems to
run flawlessly.

Thank you very much.

I don't have Office 97 anymore, so I'm not exactly sure where/how you'd find
Photo Editor. In Office XP and Office 2003, it's under Office Tools.

If you choose Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs, is
Office 97 still listed? If so, then see if you can find Photo Editor there.

Otherwise, you'd need to use the CD, do a custom installation, and say No to
everything except for PhotoEditor.

OK, that makes sense. I will go for it and thank you very much.

You are absolutely right! I found Microsoft Photo Editor in Office 2003
Tools. I wish Microsoft gave a more detailed index to all the Office 2003
contents! Thank you Herb!

annonymous,
What you found in Office 2003 is Picture Manager, not Photo Editor. They are
completely different.

Right you are. I meant to say "in Office 2000 and Office XP, it's under
Office Tools." It is missing from Office 2003, and you get Picture Manager,
instead. Not a bad piece of software, but not a replacement for PhotoEditor,
either. :-(
