[mso] Re: Office XP

I'm not sure, but I believe the student version of Office XP is the same
as the Standard version, just at a reduced cost to students.  Here's
Microsoft's page which describes what it includes:

I have done both...uninstalled Office 2000 and installed Office XP
clean...and also, just installed Office XP right over top of Office
2000..... and I can truthfully say I didn't see any differences.  Both
seemed to work fine.  Usually I always say it's best to uninstall the
old version before you install the new one, but in this case, I've
really not seen anything bad when I just installed it right over top.
However, if the Office 2000 installation has any problems, it would be
best to uninstall it first, otherwise the problems would only continue.

I would recommend, however, that once installed, you go to Microsoft's
website and get the SP1 service pack becuz it does fix some flaws in
Office XP.  Evidently, SP2 is also supposed to fix some stuff, but it
wasn't as obvious to me, so I don't know if it's necessary, but I do
have both service packs installed.

Hope this answers your question, Victor

Happy Turkey Day to you too...and to everyone else in this great group.

Quick question, I am looking to upgrade from Office 2000 to Office XP.
My daughter was given a Student Version of Office XP as a gift.
Is there any difference in the student version?

Also, has anyone upgraded from Office 2000 to Office XP without
unistalling
first?
Would anyone care to give a recommendation?

Thanks and Happy Turkey Day.
