Am undecided which of the Office 2003 Standard versions to order. I
currently have MS Works 7 installed (came with the PC) - so I believe I
qualify for the Upgrade. Am wondering what happens in the future if I was to
buy a new PC and wish to install Office 2003 on it. Would the Upgrade
version then be of no use? In other words - what is the difference (if any)
in the 2 versions? Cheers

You may need to do both.

Yes, Works 7.0 qualifies as a product that will allow the use of the upgrade
kit.

But on the new computer, you may not have Works installed or may not be
allowed to use the upgrade on a second computer. Read thru the licensing
section and see if the upgrade will be adequate.

Also check if you qualify for the Student & Teacher version. It performs
the same as the standard Office packaging, but is offered at a substantial
savings, if you qualify.
