Office Student and Teacher 2003 upgrade to Office Standard?

[Rivercity John]

I have Office Student and Teacher 2003 suite and want to upgrade.

Is it possible to install the upgrade to Office Standard version from the
S&T version?

Office 2003 Students and Teachers Edition is not a qualifying product
for upgrade to any other Office version or edition.

Ok...thanks for the quick response.

So I would have to go with the Office 2007 Suite and $$$....Any known
problems installing that with S&T installed OR is it best to remove S&T and
then install the full Office 2007?

Thanks

A number of reputable online retailers such as Amazon.com still have
full (not upgrade) copies of Office 2003 available if that's what you
want.

If you install both versions:
You can only have one version of Outlook at a time in a Windows
partition. Word may spend a few seconds to a few minutes reconfiguring
itself each time you switch between 2003 and 2007 or vice versa. You
can't use Word 2003 as the email editor in Outlook 2007, and you can't
use Word 2007 as the email editor in Outlook 2003. The "send to mail
recipient" option probably won't work in 2003 programs if you install
Outlook 2007. Check whether your computer meets the minimum system
requirements for Office 2007. I think these are the most common issues
with having 2003 and 2007 on the same computer, but I'm sure there are
others.
