Reinstalling Office 2003 after Office 2007 expires in February

Just a thought. If I install Office 2007 on my everyday home computer, which
is probably not recommended by MVPs, and it performs reasonably well until
February 1, will I be able to uninstall it and reinstall Office 2003 easily?

Yup,
Did it already--Office 2003 works great. 2007 kept crashing(it is after
all still a Beta) and needed good access on most of my company pc's-so
reinstalled 2003 no problems. Kept 2007 on one; to help with bugs.

Define easily. ;-)


You should be able to but no one can guarantee anything.

JoAnn,
Easy or lucky? Hard to say! LOL Just went to add/remove;removed 2007 and
then reinstalled the original 2003 that was on them to begin with. No
problems;However; I may add that not only am I the system admin;but also the
owner;and keep a tight reign on my OP's PC's. So I know (mostly!!!LOL)what's
on them. And in my case; it worked out great.

Did you reimage the PCs from a server or reinstall from CDs?

Both actually;
Had the original cd's for two of them and they were laptop's so just
reinstalled them. Specific cd's for each. Don't want any OGA headaches.LOL
And for the remainder; imaged them from a server under the licensing
agreement that I have with the 2003 Office. Checked with MS just to make
sure!!
