Changing 2007 to 2003

[Barb]

The trial period for 2007 has expired. I hate it and want to use 2003. Can
someone tell me how I can go about doing this? Delete 2007 then purchase and
download 2003?

Thanks so much!!

No. I am going to assume that you did not tell Office 2007 that you did not
want to upgrade Office 2003 so you've overwritten the older version and now
you are up a famous creek. Or that you never owned the older version.

Uninstall Office 2007.
Reinstall Office 2003 from the disks. If you don't have them or never had
them, you will have to find somewhere that still sells the older version. As
Office 2007 has been out for over two years, good luck with that.

It sounds like Barb didn't have 2003 before. If she finds it at eBay,
can the previous owner transfer the license? If she finds a new
unopened copy somewhere, will MS still permit it to be registered as a
new purchase?
