OK...

If I buy Microsoft Office 2007 for my PC, will I be able to install it on more than one computer? For example, I may add a laptop to my computing arsenal later.

Also, where is my best deal going to be? +/- $140 seems to be about par...

It's either one license per PC or one license per user which means if you are the only person using it & have multiple PC's it's ok.

But I can't remember.

You might want to try Open Office if you don't need to run Office macros or VB scripts withing office.

I use it at home & have only run into problems with Excel sheets that contain VB scripts.

Office 2007 Home/Student edition can be used on 3 different PCs. BUT The license is only valid for 12 months, then you have to buy/renew for another year. However I'm with Vendetta in recommending OpenOffice.

I downloaded Open Office. It looks like this will work for what I need.

Thanks for the info, ya'll!

I recently purchased the upgrade Office 2007, HATE IT, they made too many changes from the 2000 version I had, I guess I should have stepped up every year and maybe it would not have been such a big change, I don't think I will ever get use to it.....I may just remove it and go back to 2000.

Made me not want to upgrade to Vista, I just purchased a new lap top and when I ordered it from Dell, I specifically asked for everything to be Windows XP compatable and NO VISTA. I have to wait 3 extra weeks for the lap top.......

Big change from any Office 2000 products! If what you've got works for you, stick with it. Office 2003 was a big learning curve... Haven't used 2007 yet, I'm almost hesitant.

You could always take an evening course at Midland College that will help you get up to speed.

2007 is also a trememdus resource hog over 2000.

I remember the first version of MS Word I ever used. Ran under Mac System 7. It was small enough to fit on a 3.5" floppy with room left over for documents and it did everything I needed. I don't think they have added anything useful since.

I upgraded because I was having alot of problems with Publisher I use it alot and was told that there are no more updates......naturally. So I upgraded.....

I think what pis_@%ed me off more was when I upgraded it did something to Outlook express, and I cannot spell check anymore, well I can, it does, but it uses a french dictionary......what good does that do?

from the forms I have been on Microsoft is aware of the problem and they are NOT going to fix it.

I think they want you to quit using Express. there is a dictionary you can download, but I could not get it to work. So most of my emails are plauged with speling erors (ha ha ).

Typical Microsoft......So keep that in mind if you do upgrade and Use Outlook EXPRESS. it will delete your dictionary and there is no fix for it.

Microsoft Office doesn't use Express. MS Outlook Express is the email client software that's included with Windows.

Outlook professional is included with any Office disc... a different and better application.

I have and use outlook, but not that often.

Outlook is the only way I can send my schedule to my cell phone.

Oh well that sux... I usually avoid that program like the plague. Although still running Outlook 2003, I'm not too excited on upgrading to 2007.
