ms word 2007 question
Amazon is selling Microsoft Word Home and Student 2007 for about $119.
It is also selling Microsoft Word for $209. Are the programs the same? If so, who would buy the $209 version? |

Pretty much identical. H&S has the advantage that you can install it on up
to 3 computers/laptops in your home. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "richard" wrote in message ... Amazon is selling Microsoft Word Home and Student 2007 for about $119. It is also selling Microsoft Word for $209. Are the programs the same? If so, who would buy the $209 version? |

If the license is the same as previous versions, H&S won't qualify for

ms word 2007 question
Hi Jay,
The previous Office Student & Teacher's Editions are qualifying products to allow you purchase any Office 2007 upgrade package, as are any Office 2000 or newer product, including oher 2007 ones. The MS Home & Student Edition 2007 and the 2003 Office Student & Teacher's editions don't come in an upgrade package (already upgrade priced), but with 3 installs allowed by each. ============== "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

ms word 2007 question
JoAnn,
If you purchase an upgrade package of MS Office 2007 you have a retail version for the next upgrade. If you purchase a Home & Student edition, those haven't come in an upgrade package, but it's still priced lower than an upgrade edition, so it's probably a good value either way and either way you have Office 2007. ============== "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...
