upgrade with Publisher 2007

[kate]

I have office basics suite that came with my computer (so no Publisher on
computer at all). I want to add Publisher 2007. Am I eligible for the
upgrade rate?

======================================
I'm thinking you must have an earlier retail version
of Office...I don't think OEM software would qualify
a user for the upgrade version.

Open the following link and scroll down to: Office
Publisher 2007...it will tell you the requirements
for the upgrade price.

John, I think you made one of your absolutely few mistakes when you stated
"...I don't think OEM software would qualify....". OEM versions of software
DO qualify for upgrade qualifier for any version of Office '07 or it's
components. Of course non-converted (purchased) trial versions do not
qualify.

From the site you quoted
"Microsoft Publisher 2000-2002; Microsoft Office Publisher 2003; Microsoft
Publisher Deluxe 2000-2002; Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 with Digital
Imaging; any 2000-2007 Microsoft Office suite; any Microsoft Office XP
suite."

It even appears that Office XP Student and Teacher would be a qualifier for
the single program where it isn't with an Office '07 suite upgrade (but
probably just a typo.)



To kate: If the version of Office Basic that came with your computer is
purchased, installed and activated (in other words is not a trial version)
it will be a qualifier for Publisher 2007 according to the link John posted.

OK...the OP is running Office Basic Suite.

I'm certainly not beyond making mistakes but
you might want to have a look at the first entry
in the list of 2007 Office suites in the article I
posted.

It states:

Office Basic 2007 - Available only through OEMs -
Upgrade not applicable.

John, she already has the OEM Office Basic Suite installed.

The OP wants to upgrade to Publisher '07 program only.

If you scroll down to the individual Office Programs list on the site it
says that a qualifier for the upgrade of Publisher is "...any 2000-2007
Microsoft Office suite;..." The OP has Office Basic installed, it is a
2000-2007 Office suite so it should qualify for the Publisher upgrade.
