Installing Office 2007 from an upgrade disc
Old computer has Office 2003 upgraded to Office 2007. Purchased new computer
and want to install Office 2007 but all I have is the upgrade disc. Can I install from an upgrade disc or will I need to buy 2003, install it and then upgrade? |

Installing Office 2007 from an upgrade disc
If there's no qualifying product on the new computer, then you can't use the
upgrade. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "JimChan52" wrote in message ... Old computer has Office 2003 upgraded to Office 2007.

Installing Office 2007 from an upgrade disc
You just need to buy Microsoft Works as a qualifying product. I
suggest see this link for cheap version ($21): http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Works-8-0-OLD-VERSION/dp/B0002D152W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1269982651&sr=1-1 Qualifying products for upgrade is listed he http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/FX101754511033.aspx hth JimChan52 wrote: Old computer has Office 2003 upgraded to Office 2007.

Can I install from an upgrade disc or will I need to buy 2003, install it and then upgrade? Remove any Office 2007 trial and any activation assistant then reboot the computer before attempting an Office 2007 install. If you have a program shown on the following web site in the upgrade qualifier column for any of the Office 2007 version you can install using the upgrade disk. Start the installation and if the computer says it can't find a upgrade qualifier then insert the older program's disk in the drive and point the 2007 installation program to the disk. Once it has read the drive it will tell you to reinsert the 2007 installation disk. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...px?ofcresset=1 - "Microsoft Works 6.0–10; Microsoft Works suite 2000–2006 or later; any 2000–2007 Microsoft Office program or suite; any Microsoft Office XP suite except Office XP Student and Teacher." If you do not have one of the qualifying programs available on disk (or copied to a flash drive, etc. or installed onto the computer) you can't use the upgrade disk until you purchase a qualifed program such as shown in the list. Many new computers do come with Microsoft Works 8.5 or 9. If your does (it is a qualifier) and the installation fails to take it as a qualifed products there is a download fix for that issue. The web site for that fix is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943290 |

Microsoft Works is usually among them. |
