I bought a new system containing Windows XP and pre-loaded with Office 2003
trial software. I had previously purchased Office 2000, and after the
experience with migrating to Office 2000, have no interest in Office 2003.
However, certain operations under XP - like trying to open an unknown
document type in Word because the suffix got mangled in an e-mail
transmission - will cause Office 2003 trial to effectively replace Office
2000 on my system. All my Office 2000 links turn into Office 2003 links,
which is not paid for and not enabled. What has happened, how can I most
easily restore access to Office 2000 when it happens, and how can I stop it
from happening in the future?
