With my old Dell I bought Word 2000. There are 7 disks in the pack. I have
since changed computers and Have XP Pro installed on this one. Will these
disks work with XP Pro also? I'd hate to go thru all that trouble for
nothing.

It depends on what you mean by "with my old Dell." If you bought the program
for your Dell, then yes, you can install it and run it on the new computer;
it will run fine under Windows XP. If it came installed on the Dell,
however, it is an OEM copy and not licensed for any other machine. Although
you might still be able to install and run it, it would not be legal.

You are correct I bought it along with the Dell computer. I will give it a
shot. Thanks much.
Also, MS has free Office trials if you can't get it to work.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his
absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay
the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a
great power among men.

I fail to see the relevance of 84% of your message.
Actually, it's quite provocative. IMNSHO it is better to refrain from
any political statements in a pure technical newsgroup. Especially with
current events.

Thanks for letting me push your buttons as I am not very politically correct
and always hope to get a response.
