absolutely not ! If your computer has come with MS Word 2007 pre-installed,
then it means that you already have the latest (and the BEST) version of MS
Word. So there's no need to re-install Word.
One more point, you said that you want to install Outlook only because you'd
like to sync your PDA with your laptop, right ? If this is the case, you
should note that if your PDA comes with a software CD (as most PDAs have an
installation CD), you should note that your PDA installation CD must have a
version of MS Office Outlook - or at least most of them have.
For example, I am in UK and my PDA is SPV M3100. The network from which I
bought the mobile contract for this PDA is Orange. And Orange has included in
its package an installation CD for my PDA which includes: Windows Mobile 5. ,
Microsoft ActiveSync, and MS Outlook 2002 (which is not the latest version of
Outlook and I don't need it for I have Outlook 2007, but it perfectly does
the job for synchronization anyway).
If I can be of any more help , please feel free to ask. Good luck.
