Installing 2007 Office H&S over 2003 Pro "Wickiup" <Jiminycrickit[ at ]clikitclikit.com> 11/5/2008 4:45:13 AM Hello I wish to install Office Home and Student 2007 over Office Professional 2003. The object is to obtain Onenote and the updated versions of Word and Excel from 2007 H&S while retaining Publisher and Outlook in 2003 Pro version. Looking for advice as to how this should be done with the least hassle. Saving or needing HDD space is not a significant issue. Must concentrate on most stable installation. I have XP Home with all programs on one HDD and all data on second HDD. If it is more efficient I could (with enough persuasion) load the 2007 H&S program on the second HDD. This is basically about obtaining Onenote. The rest is window dressing but I can use the 3 installs on other machines. I realize this had been hashed out before but each of us has a bit different situation to address. Thank you -*- Jim Curts

Doing so will replace 2003 components with 2007 components, leaving 2003 components not included in 2007 "Wickiup" <Jiminycrickit[ at ]clikitclikit.com> wrote in message news:%23k53eEwPJHA.4708[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: Installing 2007 Office H&S over 2003 Pro "Wickiup" <Jiminycrickit[ at ]clikitclikit.com> 11/6/2008 2:04:42 AM The install went just fine! Thanks! I did a custom install in which it left Publisher and Outlook as Office 2003 programs, replaced Word, Excel and PowerPoint with 2007 versions plus did a new install of OneNote 2007. It even allowed me to salvage a OneNote 2003 folder already converted to 2007 lingo. -*- Jim Curts "DL" <address[ at ]invalid> wrote in message news:evMJTDyPJHA.728[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

You have used one of the installs for the machine that has the upgraded programs (the current install.) You only have two additional machines to install on left as you can't split part of the suite on one machine and part on another according to the EULA.
