Reloading Office

[GKW in GA]

I originally started with Office 97 (full version) then upgraded to Office
2002 (via upgrade), now I have Office 2003 (via upgrade).

If I have to reload my entire system do I have to re-load Office 97 then
upgrade it to 2002 then upgrade it to 2003 or is there a way to bypass
re-loading the predecessors to Office 2003

Install the 2003 and have the Office XP cd handy for the verification
process.

Hi G.K.W.,

You can install just the latest upgrade edition. If it does not find an installed prior Office version it will prompt you for the
CD for a 'qualifying product'. The Office XP upgrade CD should work at that point.
