Uninstall 2007
Our new netbook has Trial version of Word 2007. I don't want it. Can I
uninstall it and install my 2003 Word? The netbook does not have a CD drive so I would copy the CD on to a Flash drive and install it from there. Is this feasable? The netbook is Windows XP. |

Uninstall 2007
The answer to both questions is yes.
First completely uninstall Office 2007. Also visit the Templates folder (usually %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates) and remove any templates with four-letter extensions ending in 'x' or 'm', because the Office 2003 programs can't use them. There are several ways to install Office 2003 without an attached CD drive. Using a flash drive is one; mapping a network drive to a shared CD drive on a desktop computer is another. Once you've installed Office 2003, you might want to download and install the Compatibility Pack from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...3-C6BB74CD1466 to let you open 2007-format documents you could receive from other users. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
