MS Office Forum / Word / Word Errors / March 2004Help With Buying Word Upgrade
I want to do a "clean install" of Word 2003--after a format and reinstall of Windows. Would my OEM Works Suite CD qualify for the upgrade version? Also, I notice that there is an edition "For Students and Teachers." Is this a full version? I am a RETIRED teacher (after 35 years). Would that qualify me for this edition of Word? I'm curious as to how this works. Do students and teachers not need "qualifying" versions? How do they qualify for the use of this edition? Thanks. > I want to do a "clean install" of Word 2003--after a format and reinstall of > Windows. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > "qualifying" versions?

This site: http://www.microsoft.com/office/word/howtobuy/default.mspx#XSLTsection126121120120 indicates that Works 6.0 or later and Works Suite 2001 and later are qualifying products for Word 2003 upgrade. However I would compare price for the upgrade versions of Word 2003 and the price of the latest Works Suite {which includes Word} {Note: Suite and just Works}. You may find the Works Suite on sale at a lower price. Office 2003 Standard for Teachers and Students is for current teachers and students. The product includes full versions of all the applications that are included in Office 2003 Standard. You can find out what applications are in each edition of Office 2003 at: http://office.microsoft.com/home/default.aspx The Office 2003 for Teachers and Students is a non-upgrade edition thus no qualifying product is required. Don Thanks very much for all of that information. A current student or teacher would have to verify that status somehow in order to install and use Word. I was curious as to how that might be done. > > I want to do a "clean install" of Word 2003--after a format and reinstall > of [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > This site: http://www.microsoft.com/office/word/howtobuy/default.mspx#XSLTsection126121120120 > indicates that Works 6.0 or later and Works Suite 2001 and later are > qualifying products for Word 2003 upgrade.

Also note that the current version of Works Suite includes Word 2002, not 2003, though for your purposes the differences might not be significant. -- Suzanne S.
