XP Pro really is.

Office XP is the name Microsoft choose for various collections of Office
2002 applications. Office XP Professional is one of those collections.
Office XP Standard is another.

Office Tools 2002 is a collection of support applications for Office XP. You
can see what is included under Office Tools by looking at the list in your
Program listings or by running setup an looking at the list under the Office

Thanks but it's "swahili" to me. I am told both versions are used, yet there
must be somewthing different between them; is it the number of s'wares or
others.

Thanks to clarify.

If that's what you were told, then you were not given enough information.
Saying you have Office XP is like saying you own a Ford. Saying you have
Office XP Pro is like saying you own a Ford Mustang. (I had to ask the guys
I work with for a car model that's currently manufactured. All I could think
of was Chevy and Corvair but depending on your age, you may not have any
idea of what I was talking about.)

May politely rephrase my question, please? What are the detailed differences
between the two softwares; programmes, accessories, etc. Incidentally, my
Ford Mustang Shelby worked fine !

Ok try this explanation. Saying Office XP is like saying 1965 Ford, and
saying Office XP Pro is like saying 1965 Ford Mustang. So, what are
the differences? Please fill in the blank. What are the differences
between Office XP Pro and Office XP ________? As for the "Office Tools
2002", that is part of an Office XP install. In "Ford terms" that's the
tool kit in the trunk of your 1965 Ford, it came with the package.

You only listed one edition - Pro. The other was just the generic name of
the product. It could be Small Business, Standard, Student and Teacher, etc.
I knew what you were asking - I just don't have enough info from you to give
you a reply yet.

You're welcome, the OP seemed to be able to appreciate the car
