Sort of along these lines...

I'm using JAWS 6.0.

I purchased the full price version of office 2003 recently.
I have two desktop pcs.  The first one has office xp on it.
How would any of your proceed if you wanted to put 2003 on to replace =
the
one with xp.
The 2003 version seems to have less glitches in use with JAWS than the =
xp
version, at least on my machine.
I know ms wants you to buy a full version for each machine.
But I am licensed on both versions as it is.

Should I completely uninstall the xp version before installing the 2003
version?

And if so, where are all the data files located so that I can grab them =
and
put them somewhere before I do the  new install of the 2003 version.   I
would like to have the emails, the folders, the favorties, the address =
book
and stuff like that.

Thanks.
Rik

well as far as buying the student version goes, not illegal if your a=20
student, but more importanly most of the cheaper versions people quote =
that=20
are cheap are o e m versions, which also do not have support from =
microsoft.


so a student version for say 5 bucks versus a o e m version for 130 and=20
neither has support from micro soft, thats a no brainer, the student=20
version wins hands down.


both install and register in the same fashion now.
it used to be the student version left off the copy protection found on =
the=20
o e m version.

this is no longer the case, now their the same.


for those not familiar o e m is what is supposed to be only sold with a =
new=20
p c, so hence no tech support.

they also have a more expensive version that does come with tech =
support.
cost way more.
