MikesComputerInfo.com Message Board: COMPUTER DISCUSSIONS: Office XP trial version?

By on Friday, July 19, 2002 - 06:32 pm:

I?m thinking seriously about doing the 30 day trial of Office XP. I think it might be very helpful in my home business (editing and organizing resumes, business proposals, etc.). I?m worried about the installation process, its compatibility with documents created in Office 97, and what?ll happen if I cancel the upgrade at the end of the trial. Will it cause problems with my system? Please let me know if you?ve gone through the trial and how it went, easy to install, compatibility, de-installation, etc. Thanks so much.

I highly doubt there'd be a problem if you revert back after taking advantage of the Office XP trial. There's no compatability problem with Office 97 docs, the upgrade was a vey smooth transition for me. I'd say give it a shot, they've made some useful changes to take advantage of.
