Office 2003 editions mix-up
Is it possible to install applications from two different Office 2003
editions on one desktop? For example: Word and Excel from Office 2003 Professional and Outlook from the Office 2003 Basic edition? Do those applications use Office features from their own editions in such case (esp. IRM)? -- thanks in advance for any help! elcia, |

Office 2003 editions mix-up
Hi Elcia,
Whit it's possible to do this, it's generally not a practical approach, especially when Outlook is in both of the 2003 Editions you mentioned, and also uses two product licenses (although Basic Edition is tied permanently to the machine its first installed on). After backing up your files, set a Restore Point in Windows. If you then uninstall the Basic Edition, restart the PC then install the Office 2003 Professional Edition to the same folder you should be okay and it will be easier/cleaner to maintain with updates. ============== "elcia" wrote in message ...

Office 2003 editions mix-up
Hi Bob,
thanks for the information! It is not my purpose to install apps from two different editions. I'm just trying to spot possible reasons for RMS not working in Outlook and working in Excel and Word. I wondered if our admins could install only the later in Pro edition and leave the OEM Outlook in Basic edition. However, I was not sure how the IRM features would work in such setting. elcia "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Elcia, Whit it's possible to do this, it's generally not a practical approach, especially when Outlook is in both of the 2003 Editions you mentioned, and also uses two product licenses (although Basic Edition is tied permanently to the machine its first installed on).
