Hmm, very strange indeed because the CDs I have automatically install all the Office Products, but it's not really a problem because I'd prefer them all. I know my Office 97 you had to pick them all, but 2000, and XP seem to auto install - perhaps there are different versions out there. My laptop has 2003 on it, but it came pre installed and so I can't comment on that. Jake ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tiffany H.
