Windows Vista33
Have a Dell laptop that has Microsoft Works installed. Want to install

Microsoft Office Professional 2003. Do I need to uninstall Works prior to

installing Office? Can I leave works on mach. and install office too? Reason

I would like to keep works is I haven't had a chance to use it . It came

installed on my laptop from Dell. My desktop has the Office Professional on

it and all my data bases are made in office. Could wait I suppose? If anyone

has information on this I would appreciate your advise! Thank you in

advance!

Hi,



You can leave it on and install Office as well, I've seen that on several

machines without conflicts.

If you are going to use MS Office 2003, you will probably not want to use MS

Works, but it can be left installed as it does not conflict with Office..

Jim, I have Vista Home Premium 64bit, and Office Professional 2003 runs on

it no problem at all.

I apprciate all responces to my question! I think i will install Office

Professional and If MS Works does not coflict I will keep it and try out

some off its features. If it gives me any trouble I can uninstall it! These

newsgroups are very informative and helpful! It is awsome to read and learn

for free! Thankyou!

Yes, no problem







Although you *can* keep it, recognizing that Microsoft Works is sort

of like a junior version of Microsoft Office, there really isn't any

reason to. It's unlikely that you would want the stripped-down

functionality of Works when you have available the greater

functionality of Office.



On the other hand, there's really no downside to keeping it, unless

you're short of disk space, so there's no reason to recommend

uninstalling it either.
