i have a new laptop that has come with a trial version of ms office 2007. However, I do not wish to stand the expense of a full version at the end of the trial period, but I do have my own version of ms office 2003 and would like to use this.

Bearing in mind the 2003 version was used on XP please advise me how to load up the 2003 version in place of the 2007 version that came with the laptop

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Before you do this, make sure you have not saved any documents in the new DOCX format. Convert them all to .DOC format so the older version can open them. Then....

Uninstall 2007 through the Control Panel.

Install 2003 by placing the CD in the drive and letting it auto-play.

Bear in mind, if the copy of 2003 you're going to use to install on this computer isn't licensed for multiple computers (only the Educational version allows this), you'll need to uninstall 2003 from the old computer (if it's still in use). If you can't, or don't want to, do that... you'll need to purchase another licensed copy of 2003.
