Office 2007 Home and Student Edition only contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote b.. Office 2003 works fine under Vista - it even looks like a new product! I'm always wary of discounted Microsoft products as they often carry out on-line authentication of versions of the OS and MS products although I'm not sure of the sanctions they can invoke except, of course, at some time just disabling products whose serial nos. duplicate, don't match something in your OS or some other Federal Misdemeanour!

Are there was any discounts available from the U3A ? I have also come across Software4Students http://www.software4students.co.uk/Default.aspx where they offer MS Office 2007 Professional Plus for £48.50 but this seems to require a tie up with a school. Anyone have any info or ideas ? Regards Ron Meadowcroft :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
