Problem installing Office 2000 Professional

[Can-So]

Well there's plenty of software on the market that do that. How ever from a
support view I have received plenty of calls that have issues due to this
kind of software. Most of the issues revolves around the registry not coming
over properly and the only way to get the keys properly fixed is once again
a new install.

Thanks Bob. I checked Aloha Bob out on line. I would need the PC Relocator
Ultra which retails for about $70. This will be a lot less expensive than
having to purchase a whole new Office program. Thanks again.
