Academic editions of software are usually heavily discounted, but you can't use them commercially. They also don't include certain features. Like, the amazon link you gave is Home and Student edition, which is only Word, Excel, OneNote, and Powerpoint.simmy.uk wrote:

seems like they are trying to do people there?

Install Office 2003 - Excel, install Office 2007 - everything but Excel.=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

I wouldn't bother anyway, I have 2007 and it's more trouble than it's worth! Everytime I save a document for the first time, I have to go through the "save as" menu and remember to change the format to 97-2003 Office as virtually everyone I know (most businesses too) use the old version and thus can't open the new format. Then I get a message telling me how all the new features I've used won't work if I save it that way so I just have to hope that whoever opens it gets it the way I intended...
Secondly, the new 'ribbon' design makes things that were one click before several now. They may have made it more "intuitive" but it's also a lot slower if you're used to leagacy versions.
If it wasn't for the improved (and needed) functions in Excel I'd probably uninstall it.
Can't be arsed with mixed installations, besides I am starting to get used it now. But I'm pretty handy with computers, my compaint was more from the perspective of helping others as I can't be arsed to train them using 2007. My mum for example needed Office installin today on her new PC but I went with 2003 because she'd never accept having to learn the ribbon and changing the format each time.ghettoperson wrote:
