<Copy> Glad to learn of your VICTORY!!!!! Most likely your Office2000 was an UOGRADE rather than a FULL version and that is why you were asked for the Office 97 cd.... but, I understood that was only for verification of ownership purposes and NOT for installation. <End> I bought the Office 2000 at Office Depot, full professional commercial version. I -try- not to buy upgrades to avoid problems like this- I did not purchase the XP upgrade, the full version. MS should like me. <g> Thanks again for sticking with me.
