Hi.
I have Microsoft Office Standard 2007, and my university bookstore has a full upgrade for a ginormous discount. Can standard be upgraded to the full version, or is the upgrade only for people who only have 2003?
It depends on the terms of the upgrade. You can upgrade from 2003 to 2007, you can also upgrade 2007 standard to 2007 full, or enterprise,or pro, or whatever they call the versions. Those are not very useful to the average Office users, some templates, programming interface to automate connections between Office programs, such as working on a Word document in Excel or vice versa. I believe Speech Recognition is another beneift of 2007, you probbly get some enterprise level software compatibility. I don't really see the point unless you are a very busy professional office users with a huge volume of documents which you want to autoamte. Standard is more than good enough for 99.9% of what you'll need.
Awesome! Good to know. I need the pro version for access. I know I can get access by itself, but for a large normal price, and I already have a growing list of purtchases for various other things, so it's good to save as much money as possible.
I agree the basic is great, and does mostly what everyone needs. The full will be a waste of your money, even at discount, but sure you can upgrade.
Could I get it and install the components that I need? Many people told me that the whole thing costs less than $10 because of a grant given to the university.
This topic will be going in a different dirrection because I stopped by the bookstore, and they said that Microsoft is in a lawsuit. they can't distribute copies of office until it's settled. We have only 1 computer on campus with a prehistoric version of jaws. Will System Access To Go work with Microsoft Access. I have a few weeks before we get to that unit in the computer class. Hopefully, I can figure something out.
Weird. If you can buy a opy of office form anyplace right now law suit or not, what are they talking about? Maybe your bookstore was pricing the software wrongly, or lost their bulk licenses for some reason, so has to back peddle, so they don't get in a legal bind?
