Trial version of 2007
Hi,
Does anyone know if the Trial version of Office 2007 can co-exist with an earlier version of office? I currently have 2003 Pro and would rather not have to re-install it if I don't want to stay with 2007 at the end of the trial period. -- Thanks! Chuck M. |

If I were you I would download the free virtual pc from MS and install the
trial version there,note that you need to install an OS as well but it is quite easy to setup and won't take more than an hour. If you install it together with 2003 and then remove I can imagine there might be hiccups, also note that if you are an intermediate to advanced user of Excel you might dislike 2007 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en And even if you are not that unhappy with the new design you might want to wait until the SP1 is released. Many people believe that you should always wait for the first service pack release for all MS products when it comes to OS and Office -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Chuck M" wrote in message ...

Thanks Peo! I'll certainly take your advise and download the virtual pc.
BTW - Can you give me your thoughts on why intermediate users may dislike 2007? -- Thanks. Chuck M.

I assume they are quite used using the menu layout of previous versions and
frankly it is a big difference. They might be used getting a menu item with 2 clicks and now it will take 4 or 5 You will see for yourself. I have met one person who likes it wholeheartedly, most people I know while they like some of the improvements they also think parts of it are horrendous. OK, these users are very advanced users but nevertheless. There are also quite a lot of threads in these newsgroups where people show their frustration. Waiting for the SP1 is always a good way to go -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Chuck M" wrote in message ... Thanks Peo! I'll certainly take your advise and download the virtual pc.
