Office 2003 to Office 2007

[Mike Ebert]

I am in school and we have to use 2003 but I had down loaded the free trial
of 2007 and found no problems with it. Execpt I love using it but here is
the kicker I can buy Office Professional 2003 for $50 through school and I
can't even afford the student version that does not have all the things for
it to have for school. I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade to 2007
professional if I bought the Office 2003 Pro. verison allready? Cheaply or
free would be nice!

I'm not certain if the academic license is upgradeable. You really need to
ask your school's IT staff that question. If you can, you can purchase the
upgrade. No, it's not free and it's not exactly cheap. Microsoft's price is
$329.

Amazon has it for $270. Still not cheap.

And definitely not free. ;-)

Why not purchase the student and teacher edition! Im at University and
i only need the core office programs!

Note that the new "Home and Student" version of Office 2007 doesn't include
the same applications as the "Student and Teacher" version of Office 2003.
So, whether 2007 H&S would be sufficient would depend on whether it contains
everything you need. If you're used to Outlook, know that it does NOT come
with Office Home and Student 2007 (it was part of Office S & T 2003). The
different suites are described here:
