MS Office 2000 Professional

Could you tell me if MS Office 2000 Professional and MS Office Premium are
the same?

Not quite the same. Office 2000 Professional includes the 2000 versions of
Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher, and Small Business
Tools. Office 2000 Premium includes all of the applications in Professional,
plus the 2000 versions of FrontPage and PhotoDraw.

I have both MS Office 2000 Professional and MS Office 2000 Premium on my
computer. I have the CD rom for the 2000 Professional but I don't have it for
2000 Premium. Can I uninstall the Premium and just leave the Professional or
will it cause problems with the programs?

It's been awhile since I've had to uninstall Office 2000, and the
my old memory is a bit fuzzy. Two thoughts though:
1. I'm not sure whether you will be able to uninstall Office
2000 Premium without the CD... the uninstall program in some
Office versions will prompt you to insert the CD before it will
let you uninstall (this is to prevent accidental uninstalls).
2. If you uninstall Office 2000 Premium, then it's possible
that all of your Office 2000 programs will be uninstalled,
because Office 2000 Premium includes everything in Office 2000
Professional. If this happens, then you'll have to reinstall
Office 2000 Professional from your CD. You might want to back up
all of your data (templates, custom dictionaries, autocorrect
files, Outlook .pst files, etc.) before proceeding.

I suspect that behind these roundabout "are they the same" and
"can I uninstall Premium" questions, you have a burning question
that you're not asking for some reason. But I can't read your
mind...
