reinstallinf office pro 2003 bslund 11/6/2008 5:33:02 PM I had to start over with my computer. In the process, I lost my MS small office 2003. When I went to load my Office Pro 2003 upgrade, the load program would not load it because it could not find supporting software. I worked with Dell but they were no help. I've looked everywhere for my original small office disk but cannot find it. Aside from buying a full version of office pro 2003 or 2007 does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can get my office pro 2003 upgrade to load? I can probably find a 2000 version or something else that would support the 2003 pro version but am wondering if there is an easier way. Thanks. -- bslund

Re: reinstallinf office pro 2003 "DL" <address[ at ]invalid> 11/6/2008 6:44:12 PM There is no easier way, you need a qulifying version on cd, to point to when your upgrade version complains. Maybe your Dell was origonally supplied with Works, which is a qualifying version, have you checked your origonal supplied Dell disks?

RE: reinstallinf office pro 2003 bslund 11/6/2008 6:59:00 PM Thanks. The Dell came with small business office 2003 but i cannot find the disk. works was not on it, only money 2004 and i doubt that qualifies. Again, thanks. -- bslund "bslund" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I had to start over with my computer. In the process, I lost my MS small > office 2003.
