[muglo] Office 2004 and G4 Tower - problem solved

After checking the Google Groups site for Office 2004, I found my 
solution.  I simply inserted the Microsoft Office 2001 install CD.  I 
selected the application on the CD when the message came up, and my 
problem was solved.  Because I got an upgrade from 2001 to 2004, I 
guess that's why it was necessary, although I didn't have the same 
problem when installing it on the G3 laptop.

Office 2001 cannot be used with OS 10.  However, it works by just 
selecting it from the install CD.

Thanks anyway,

Leith
