Hi Murray,
MS Office software has a 30 day money back guarantee.
The only difference between Office 2003 (I assume you didn't
buy Windows Server 2003 <g>) Professional upgrade and
the 'full packaged product' are (1) the price and (2) that
the full packaged product won't look for an earlier version
of Works or Office when it installs.
Choose the custom install choice when installing Office 2003.
It will upgrade over the Office XP edition that you have and
let you select if there are any items you wish to retain including
the discontinued Office Shortcut Bar and MS Office Photo Editor.
========I accidently bought the Full Version of Win 2003 Pro when I really wanted an upgrade of OfficeXP Small Business.
However the price was good & I may just as well install it.
Any tips for installing a full version over an existing version?
SHould I uninstall OXP first?
Thanks <<
