Suzanne,
Only one 2007 Office system suite does not include Outlook 2007, the MS Office 2007 Home and Student Edition.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/su...635841033.aspx
Some functionality of Outlook for that Edition can be 'gained' by using the
http://officelive.com, and/or in Windows Vista, Windows
Mail.
MS Office Outlook 2007 Business Contact Manager (BCM) is a separately installed, Small Business tool Add-in for Outlook 2007 and
Outlook is an included prerequisite in the chart. There are, for some Office 2007 trial additions that have two separate download
portions (CD Images) and some folks have tried to install the equivalent of 'CD #2' first.
If Outlook 2007 isn't replaced by an installation of Office 2007 (using the default 'upgrade' choice) it can be due to the previous
version having some possible damage, often from registry or file cleaners, or from deleting, manually files from the \MSOCache or
\Windows\Installer folders at some point in the life of the prior version. These 'issues' may not show up in day to day use of the
products. It can be helpful, when upgrading to Office 2007 to back up files (of course g) but to then try to complete a Detect &
Repair or Repair/Reinstall before proceeding. If the prior version installation is damaged then Office 2007 may not 'see'
accurately what is installed and could then leave older version apps behind.

Confusingly, many SKUs of Office 2007 do not include Outlook. Someone
somewhere must have some rationale for this, but no one I have talked to can figure out the reasoning. It's understandable that
large corporate networks might be using Exchange, but small business?
