There has got to be a better way!

[DEBNC]

Every time I turn around I am having to insert a new Office CD into my
computer. I have gotten to the point I dread even using the programs. There
has got to be a better way. Is there any way to stop having to change CDs all
the time?

To make anything using Home Publishing even if I am using a blank document
and using my own photos, stationary and graphics, to use Expedia or the
encyclopedia.

Home Publishing and Expedia aren't part of Office so this really isn't the
best place to ask your questions in the future.

I've had mixed success in setting HP up to run without the CDs. Depending on
how much free hard drive space you have, you may not want to run everything
from the disks. Since you are using Home Publishing, that tells me your
computer isn't new and will probably have a smaller hard drive, unless
you've upgraded it.

As for Expedia, there's new content all of the time. Once again - you don't
want to have everything preinstalled on your computer for the same reasons.

I have enough space. If I could just stop HP from asking for the CD that
would be great. I don't use any of their stuff anyways. I just need the
program to run without the CD. If that takes up alot of space that is fine.

I had to Google to find it the first time. Like I said, I had mixed success
with it. (It worked on my computer, not my mother's). Also, it was with 2000
so your mileage may vary.
